An accelerated lifetest on PLC-tqpe optical splitters is performed in damp heat environments with different temperatures and humidities. The Weibull distribution is used to analyse the times-to-failure of the splitters statistically. The activation energy of the failure is derived as 1.39eV. The hazard rate of the splitters is estimated to be < 0.6 fit over a period of 30 years at 25 degrees C 90% RH.
