Choose the Ratio Line by Line
In an FTTH or ODN project, a PLC splitter ratio should not be buried in a general product description. Buyers should list every required ratio as a separate line with quantity, package, connector and installation context. This keeps a 1x8 line from being confused with a 1x16 or 1x32 line during quotation.
The ratio is only one part of the buying decision. The package style, connectorized or bare-fiber requirement, ODF or box location, and connected accessories also shape the final product list.
PLC Splitter Selection Fields
How This Helps Buyers Get Better Quotations
- Each ratio can be priced and checked separately.
- Package type and installation context reduce back-and-forth questions.
- Related ODN products can be grouped into one project BOM.
- The supplier can identify missing line details before quotation.
- Procurement can compare quotations more fairly across suppliers.
Handoff Fields for a Connected ODN BOM
Before sending the RFQ, keep the splitter line linked to the distribution location and any required access-network line. A concise handoff can list the split ratio, package, connector or bare-fiber requirement, input/output length where relevant, ODF/panel/box location, connected pigtails or adapters, quantity by phase, packing and destination. Attach a drawing or reference model when it controls the interface. This is a request checklist, not a claim that any fixed kit or configuration is included.
