High Quality Splicing:
- Designed to produce low loss splices with both singlemode and multimode fiber.
- Average loss for singlemode: Typical 0.05 dB (max. 0.10 dB)
- Average loss for multimode: Typical 0.05 dB (max. 0.10 dB)
Simple Operation:
A precision-engineered ceramic V-block guides the fiber into alignment. The operator need only place fibers in the self-centering clamps, look through the high power microscope, adjust the gap between the fibers using the thumb-wheels, and press the arc button. As the arc is fired the fibers are driven together using a piezo-electric translator. The surface tension of the molten fibers pulls them into alignment.
Innovative Splicing Techniques:
As the arc is fired the fibers are driven together using a piezoelectric translator. The surface tension of the molten fibers pulls them into alignment.
FASE II achieves low loss splices by using a new fusion technique - Axial Reciprocation. Developed during years of research this technique increases the surface tension effect by vibrating one of the fibers as they are brought together.
Flexibility & Efficiency:
Ease of use and flexibility through microprocessor control. An operator-programmable facility allows the user precise control over the splicing parameters.
Incorporates power-efficient electronics and an auto-power-down feature to provide over one hundred splices from its internal sealed lead acid battery. A low-battery indication tells you when to plug in the supplied charger.
Safe Operation :
Designed to ensure safe operation. The high voltage arc has a dual software interlock so it cannot be fired accidentally. The X75 magnification microscope provides a clear view if the fibers and is designed to protect the user from both ultraviolet and infrared light.
