On the show floor, AFL will demonstrate the new
Fujikura 41S+ fusion splicer, a fully ruggedized, two camera, active cladding alignment fusion splicer featuring Active Fusion Control (AFC) technology. This technology reduces reburns and improves splice losses for fibers with poor cleave angles. Additionally, AFL will demo the
Fujikura 90S+, a single fiber core alignment fusion splicer with improved ergonomics and enhanced automation, plus the
FlowScout PON optical power meter, an essential tool for network activation, testing and troubleshooting of passive optical networks.
Also highlighted will be the
ASCEND high density platform and the
Apex splice closure. The ASCEND modular platform features fiber housings, high-density optical cassettes, custom trunk cable assemblies and field reversible patch cords. The Apex splice closure is designed to decrease installation time, increase network reliability, and increase density of fiber splices, especially when coupled with AFL’s MicroCore® cable and
Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®).
Finally, drop by the BICSI Theatre on January 31 at 5:45 p.m. Eastern to see Rob Gilberti, Business Development Manager for AFL’s Test & Inspection Equipment, present during
What’s New What’s It Do. Rob will showcase the
FlowScout PON Power Meter, designed to be used on networks such as BPON, EPON, GPON, 10G-EPON, XG-PON, XGS-PON and video.
