Fujikura Fusion Splicers

Designed for FTTx application, the 41S+ is our new active cladding alignment single fibre V-groove splicer, which takes a step beyond its predecessor with the inclusion of Active Fusion Control Technology and Active Blade Management Technology. These two proprietary Fujikura technologies allow customers to achieve more consistent and stable low-loss splicing, reducing the need for rework and re-splicing.

The 41S+ retains all the unique, class-leading features from the current high-performance flagship line-up of Fujikura splicers, including quick splice and heat times, fully ruggedised features, and user customisable settings. The 41S+ offers installers the convenience of a 5-inch colour touch-panel display and menu system but also maintains the traditional easy-to-use button navigation system. Convenience is further bolstered by the improved V-groove illumination and the benefit of easy splice protector positioning. The machine reassures users of reliable splice results using CORE loss estimation using Warm Image Splicing Technology.

Thanks to integrated Bluetooth connectivity, the 41S+ wirelessly connects to the CT50 fibre cleaver and enables a range of pioneering features that will improve the overall installation time, cost and efficiency for operators. The 41S+ also has the unique capability to estimate splice loss with greater accuracy, using its Core Loss Estimation Function.

The issue of poor fibre cleaving due to worn, incorrectly adjusted or damaged cleaver blades is conveniently dealt with. When the 41S+ detects a high cleave angle or bad end shape, it sends a blade position change instruction to the cleaver. The CT50 cleaver then rotates the cleaver blade automatically to the next position, restoring optimum cleaving performance.

By utilising the low radio power of Bluetooth technology, other equipment nearby will not be interfered with. Operators can benefit from the "always on" technology due to the low power consumption of the Bluetooth, which means that batteries can last for several months. In addition to cleave performance, the smart splicer can also wirelessly monitor the battery and power usage of the CT50 cleaver.

As the latest addition to the Fujikura splicing family, the 41S+ is flexible, smart and efficient and is therefore capable of making a huge difference to efficiency of users. The easy-to-handle and operate qualities of this splicer means quick and simple splicing, with performance never being compromised.

In previous mass fusion splicer models, the v-grooves could become dirty over time due to debris and glass deposits from splicing accumulating in the v-grooves. Which in turn, could lead to fibre offsets and high losses if they were not regularly cleaned which added to the overall process time.

The 90R12 comes with a first of its kind, innovative user replaceable V-groove assembly which makes this issue a thing of the past and is supplied as standard equipment with the 90R12 kit. This new V-groove assembly can be quickly and easily fitted in the field, minimising downtime and maximising productivity.

In addition, the new V-groove design enables splicing of both conventional type 12-fibre encapsulated ribbon and SWR (Spider Web Ribbon) whilst also accommodating 250um and 200um pitch fibres.  The 90R12 can also splice single fibres if required.

Overall working time has been significantly reduced against the previous model (70R+). This has been achieved through a combination of improvements; including the replaceable v-grooves, reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater, a 5-inch LCD touch screen whilst also making use of Active Blade Management Technology, which now can connect to two CT50 cleavers simultaneously.

With market-first fully automated features, the new 90S+ makes the splicing process faster and simpler. Its Active Blade Management Technology (ABMT) improves the efficiency of the CT50 cleaver, resulting in increased productivity and reduced costs. Thanks to Active Fusion Control Technology (AFCT), the 90S+ analyses the condition of the cleave end face to perform optimal fusion control and minimise splice loss.

The 90S+ delivers a reduction in overall splice process time when compared to the previous 70S+ model. Such an achievement has been made possible thanks to a combination of improvements to the reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater, new fibre retention clamps and improved universal sheath clamps. Thanks to a redesigned internal structure which matches the protection sleeve to the fusion splice point, successful splicing is accomplished without the need for the user to touch the 90S+ once the process has started.
