Fusion splicer and cleaver used in fiber optic splicing

Fiber splicing and cutting are aspects of fiber optic splicing engineering.

Fiber splicing is the central link connecting the task, so scientific operation is important in high end splicing machines and splicing process. We should be depending on the requirements from the cable project with all the battery capacity and of suitable precision splicing equipment. Splicing machine well suited for a variety of large and medium-sized cable project must be performance, stable operation, good quality splicing and designed with dust-proof windshield, large-capacity battery. Splicing machine suited to small , medium-sized cable project must be smaller, an easy task to operate, with a simple cleaver, the car battery as well as the host into one easy to carry.

For example, Fiberstore supplies a variety of fiber fusion splicers,like Sumitomo Type-81C Fusion Splicer. Type-81C direct core monitoring fusion splicer was made on such basis as the thought of ultra fast splicing in most environment. While compact, lightweight, rugged and durable, the Type-81C is capable of the best splice cycle time. Its touch screen display and remote support via internet enhance user friendliness, making the splicer basic and versatile. Type-81C has dual independent heaters to cut back splice cycle time. Type-81C marks the newest standard for fusion splicers. To see the options of Type-81C, please arrive at the most effective fiber optic products supplier.

Before the fiber splicing, we must perform some preparation work. The preparation of the fiber end face including stripping covered, neat and cut a couple of links. The fiber endface qualified is really a necessary condition for splicing, the endface quality effect on the weld quality. Cutting is regarded as the critical section of the fiber end face preparation, precision, excellent cleaver is based on strict scientific practices guarantee.

There tend to be manual and electric cleavers for fiber cutting. The first sort is easy to work, reliable performance, cutting with all the operator to boost the degree of efficiency and quality might be greatly improved, and requirements a bare fiber is shorter, but the cleaver of high environmental temperature requirements. The latter cutting high quality, ideal for operating inside the field under cold conditions, but more difficult operation, constant working speed, require longer bare fiber. The rapid splice or rescue skilled operator at 70 degrees, using a manual cleaver appropriate; Conversely, beginners or operating within the wild cold conditions, direct electric cleaver.

One of our own cleavers is called Fujikura CT-30A. The CT-30 series fiber cleaver are around for either single fiber or ribbon splicing (approximately 12 fiber ribbons), and compatible with all AFL Telecommunications fusion splicers. Furthermore, the AFL CT-30A fiber cleaver is equally in your house in a splicing van or perhaps a bucket truck and is also well suited for FTTx applications. The 16-position blade yields 48000 single-fiber cleaves, or 4000 12-fiber ribbon cleaves before requiring replacement, as well as the built-in scrap collector conveniently stores fiber shards until they are often safely discarded. Here's picture of Fujikura CT-30A High Precision Fiber Cleaver.

The operator needs to be specially educated to master action essentials and operation specifications. She must first clean the cleaver and adjust the cleaver position cleaver placed to get a smooth cutting action which should be natural, smooth, not very heavy, tend not to hurry to prevent broken the adverse end face from the fiber, bevel, burrs, cracks generate. Additionally, the institute of rational allocation and make use of in the fingers of his right-hand, with cleaver parts corresponding coordination, improve cutting quality and speed.
