Australia: 1300 232 476 New Zealand: 09 927 7140 www.AFLglobal.com Fibre Termination and Splicing Fujikura 45S Fusion Splicer The 45S cladding alignment fusion splicer is changing the way people splice fibre in small to mid-fibre count applications. This Fujikura splicer debuts a landmark improvement to the fusion splicing process with the ability to prepare and load both fibres simultaneously. The hand-held fibre coating stripper, the SS-05, is capable of stripping two 250μm coated fibres in the same pass, along with the CT-60 or CT-16A cleaver adapter plate which can likewise accommodate two bare fibres for cleaving. After preparation, the 45S patented sheath clamps enable loading both fibres simultaneously into the splicer with one fibre in each hand. The user can press down on the sheath clamp base to close it while positioning the fibre 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 60mm sleeves down from ~26 seconds. The simultaneous fibre 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 fibre placement, battery access, and machine ergonomics. Previously, when using sheath clamps, if the cleaved fibre was accidentally set past the electrode centreline, the machine would send an error and require manual intervention. The 45S will now accept this mistake and reverse the fibre 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.
