The company also unveiled the FITEL S178 fusion splicer in January 2010. OFS engineered the two fusion splicing machines to endure harsh operating conditions by improving shock/impact resistance [...]
March 10, 2010 – ElectroniCast Consultants has released a new market forecast and analysis report that says the market for fiber-optic fusion splicers will increase to $550 million in 2014, with double-digit annual growth in all regional segments. The global consumption value of fiber-optic fusion splice equipment in 2009 was $302 million, up slightly from [...]
January 19, 2010 – Spartanburg, South Carolina – Fujikura Ltd., one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high quality fiber optic products, announced today that Fujikura and Vibrant Technologies, Inc. have come to a settlement on December 28, 2009, regarding the lawsuit that Fujikura filed against Vibrant Technologies in the New Hampshire federal court. Under [...]
January 18th, 2010 – OFS today announces the commercial release of its hand-held core-alignment FITEL® S178 Hand-Held Core-Alignment fusion splicer to the global market. “The key advantage of the FITEL S178 splicer is its speed and durability,” said Linda Dembowski, General Manager, Optical Connectivity Solutions. “By combining speed, precision, durability and portability in one unit, [...]
Fujikura is well known within the fiber optic industry for offering top quality fusion splicers and the FSM-16S lives up to their reputation. The rugged FSM-16S fusion splicer is designed to perform flawlessly in the harshest environments. The FSM-16S offers a multitude of features including altitude and pressure compensation to ensure proper arc conditions in extreme environments.
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.
Ericsson’s new RSU 12 fusion splicer is the dream machine for splicing ribbon with up to 12 fibers quickly, easily and accurately. Like all of Ericsson’s splicers, it was designed with the user in mind to make operation and handling virtually effortless.
With its super low profile and new user interface, the FITEL 122 Series Fusion Splicer offers next generation workability for every splicing field: FTTx, LAN, backbone or long-haul installations.
Fitel manufactures an impressive variety of fusion splicers and the S177A fusion splicer is one of their top models. The S177A incorporates an improved heating design that cuts splice-to-heat time by 40 percent. The T-shaped body design is 40 percent lighter than standard units and weighs only 4.85 lbs. with the included battery.
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.
