February 22, 2010 – Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. says that its PureAccess-R5 bending loss insensitive singlemode optical fiber is fully compliant with the new ITU-T G.657.B3 recommended standard for macrobend at a 5-mm radius. In fact it demonstrates lower attenuation and bending loss at the 1550- and 1625-nm wavelengths and a higher proof stress level [...]
The Sumitomo Type-65 Micro-Mass fusion splicer sets a new standard for reduced size and weight, and is designed for complete portability. Type-65 can be used for all types of ribbon and single-fiber splicing with an optimum arrangement for ease of use in aerial and taut-sheath applications.
The Type-66 TuffCat mass fusion splicer features the industry’s first Dual-Automatic-Splice Protection Sleeve Heater System – Sumitomo’s exclusive patent-pending system. The dual heater system’s simultaneous operation helps to eliminate squandered time waiting for a single heater system to complete its cycle. Instead, the streamlined splicing process reduces the bottle neck of “heater wait time” by 88%, improving mass splicing efficiency and productivity in the field by 70%.
The Sumitomo FCP-22L is a precision fiber cleaver which can accomodate 250um and 900um coatings. The FCP-22L is very versatile as it can be used to cleave single fibers as well as ribbon fibers.
The Sumitomo Type-39 FastCat Core Alignment fusion splicer is the industry’s first splicer to feature a Dual-Automatic Heater System featuring Auto Start Heater and Auto Start Splice functions – making the FastCat the fastest splicer available today.
The new Type-25e TomCat fusion splicer from Sumitomo incorporates all the features, functions and proven reliability of the Type-25 family – the industry’s most popular handheld splicers for FTTx and restoration applications – but with a great many enhancements. The TomCats feature improved optical technology utilizing your choice of an economical single camera system or an industry standard dual camera splice loss estimation system. The improved optical technology, combined with a quicker splice protection sleeve heater, allows the unit to deliver a typical splice time in less that 11 seconds for SMF or MMF.
