Posted under Fujikura, Fusion Splicers
The Fujikura FSM-20RSII12 ribbon fusion splicer utilizes a PAS (Profile Alignment System) that aligns the core of single-mode and the cladding of multimode fibers. The built in 3″ monitor allows cross-sectional viewing of the prepared fiber ends while also displaying the cleave angle and estimated splice loss. The FSM-20RSII12 can splice both single-mode and multi-mode fibers. Alignment, fusion and splice loss estimation are automatically completed by the built-in computer. The splicer includes a built-in tube heater for installing splice protective sleeves. It can be powered by AC or external 12 VDC.
