This Fujikura splicer debuts a landmark improvement to the fusion splicing process with the ability to prepare and load both fib re s simultaneously. The hand-held fib re coating stripper, the SS-05, is capable of stripping two 250 μm coated fib re s in the same pass, along with the CT-16A cleaver adapter plate which can likewise accommodate two bare fib re s for cleaving. After preparation, the 45S patented sheath clamps enable loading both fib re s simultaneously into the splicer with one fib re in each hand. The user can press down on the sheath clamp base to close it while positioning the fib re in the v-grooves. This enables one- handed operation. Furthermore, the 45S sheath clamps are mechanically linked to the wind protector, so after splicing is finished, opening the wind protector also opens both sheath clamps for quick sleeve positioning and transfer to the tube heater. The 45S tube heater shrinks sleeves much faster than its predecessor with a nominal ~20 second heat time for 60 mm sleeves down from ~26 seconds. The simultaneous fib re preparation capability, automated sheath clamp opening, and a faster tube heater, combine to lower the overall fusion splicing cycle time by ~30% or more. The 45S continues to benefit the user experience with improvements to fib re placement, battery access, and machine ergonomics. Previously, when using sheath clamps, if the cleaved fib re was accidentally set past the electrode centerline, the machine would send an error and require manual intervention. The 45S will now accept this mistake and reverse the fib re to correct position automatically. With a cube form factor, the 45S is easily transported and operated in space-constrained environments. The adjustable screen can alleviate glare from the sun and adjust with abnormal splicer positions confronted in challenging splice locations. Backed by the best service team in the industry, the Fujikura 45S is the ideal splicer to use when portability, ruggedness, speed, and reliability are needed. If you’d like to see the 45S capabilities first-hand, please contact us at 1 300 232 476 to arrange a product demonstration at your earliest convenience.

The average splice loss changes depending on the environmental condition and fib re characteristics. *3 Measured at room temperature. The definition of splice time is from the fib re image appearing on the LCD monitor to the estimated splice loss. The average splice time changes depending on the environmental conditions, fib re type, and fib re characteristics. *4 Measured at room temperature with the AC adapter. The heat time is defined from the start beep sound to the finish beep sound. The average heat time changes depending on the environmental conditions, sleeve type, and battery pack condition. In addition, since the heating operation is constantly optimized, the average heating time changes depending on the usage conditions of the fusion splicer. *5 The electrode life changes depending on the environmental conditions, fib re type, and splice modes used. *6 Test Conditions Splice and heat time: 1 minute cycle Using the splicer power save settings, subject to our testing condition Using a new battery Room temperature The battery capacity changes when testing in different conditions than above *7 The battery capacity decreases to half after approx. 500 discharge and recharge cycles. The battery life is shortened further when using outside of the storage and operating temperature ranges, or if completely discharged when stored for an extended period without recharging. *8 Bluetooth mark and logos are registered trademarks of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
