Poyiccot SC 1X2 Fiber Optic Splitter, 0.9mm G657A1 Singlemode PLC SC Fiber Optical Splitter for Home Wiring, Engineering Project, Fiber LAN,3.3ft/1m

Came just as I expected! Although delivery got delayed a few times

I used this at the terminating end of customer facing equipment to measure things like light levels in real on the downstream side of A single channel fiber to the home environment. this is invaluable in today's world where most fiber ONTS do not provide any customer facing management console to check those statistics on our own. And yes I have caught one major player in home fiber blatantly lying about there being no problems when actual live testing on the line confirmed there was... I'm not going to name names They may or may not also be involved in cell phones and have a absolute obsession with the color magenta or bright pink.

This 8 way splitter says it good for 1310 to 1550 nm with little variation in loss and I found this to be true. The splitter is well made with the Planar Lightwave Circuit enclosed in a metal box and the ends terminated with SC connectors. However, the listing did not state APC or UPC and mine came APC, I am not setup to fully test APC style fiber. The fiber used in this splitter is 9/125 single mode and has very little loss over this short distance. Insertion loss is around 10.5dB (Loss (dB) = 10 X Log10(n) where (N) is the number of outputs. Using this formula you would get a 9.03 dB drop with n being 8 channels. The practical loss is in the real world can add 0.5dB to 1.5dB of losses due to other factors. So the splitter does its job, but just not be a good value for the money.

This isn't the first time I've ordered a splitter from this brand, and everything works as it should, with minimal signal loss. Good quality, very compact, and fits anywhere!
