Isihlukanisi se-PLC okanye iplani yokukhanya kwesekethe yesiqhekeza licandelo elisebenzayo elinesikhokelo esikhethekileyo se-silica esicwangcisiweyo, iquartz okanye ezinye izinto.Isetyenziselwa ukwahlula i-strand ye-optical signal ibe yimisonto emibini okanye ngaphezulu.Ngokuqinisekileyo, sikwabonelela ngebhokisi ye-ABS uhlobo lwe-PLC yokuhlukanisa.I-fiber optic splitter sesinye sezona zixhobo zibalulekileyo zokungena kwikhonkco yefiber optical.Imikhombandlela yamaza yenziwe kusetyenziswa i-lithography kwi-silica glass substrate, evumela umzila ngeepesenti ezithile zokukhanya.Ngenxa yoko, abahluli be-PLC banikezela ngokuchanekileyo kunye nokwahlulahlula kunye nelahleko encinci kwiphakheji esebenzayo.Yisixhobo se-fiber tandem ye-fiber enee-terminal ezininzi zokufaka kunye nokuphuma, ngokukodwa kwi-network optical network (EPON, GPON, BPON, FTTX, FTTH njl.) Ukudibanisa i-MDF kunye nezixhobo ze-terminal kunye ne-branch signal optical.
