Fujikura FSM-40F Fusion Splicer

Fujikura developed the FSM-40F fusion splicer for the high strength splicing needs of DWDM optical communication devices. The FSM-40F splices dissimilar fiber combinations, especially Erbium-doped fiber to single-mode fiber using patented sweep arc functions.

Features:

• Sweep arc technology minimizes splice loss when splicing dissimilar fibers.
• Multi-functional movable V-groove and Z-mechanism provides short cleave length splicing with various coating diameters for high tensile strength splicing and small packaging requirements.
• Fiber holder system increases splicing results by reducing skill dependency.
• PC Interface and power meter feedback function allows download of splice results and modification of parameters by connection of RS232C cable to PC.

Specifications:
