The FSM-60S fusion splicer sets the standard for core alignment fusion splicing by incorporating a user-friendly interface with enhanced features to provide the most rugged and reliable fusion splicer in the market today. The new rugged construction adds improved reliability by resisting shock, dust, and rain, and can withstand a 30” drop test. The FSM-60S splices a fiber in 9 seconds and heats a 60mm splice sleeve in 30 seconds, for a total cycle time of only 39 seconds. New features, such as automatic tube heater operation, user-selectable clamping method (sheath clamp or fiber holder system), automated monitor image orientation, and battery charge capability during splicer operation provide the end user a productivity tool they can count on.

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, minimizing downtime and maximising productivity. In addition, the new V-groove design enables splicing of both conventional type 12-fiber encapsulated ribbon and SWR (Spider Web Ribbon) whilst also accommodating 250um and 200um pitch fibers. The 90R12 can also splice single fibers 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. **Features**: - Class-leading, highly reliable, 12-fiber ribbon splicing technology. - Replaceable V-grooves minimize downtime and maximize productivity. - An improved automatic wind protector design reduces overall splice time but can also be used manually like a traditional machine. - High capacity lithium-ion battery provides up to 165 x 12 fiber splices and heat shrinks. - An extensive range of fibre holders make the 90R12 compatible with single fibres, standard encapsulated ribbons as well as Spider Web Ribbon types. - Pitch Converter system enables splicing of both 200um and 250um single fibers. - A completely redesigned, larger capacity carry case and multi-functional work-tray. - Enabled with Fujikura's unique "Active Blade Management Technology" with new capability to link up to two CT50 cleavers simultaneously. - Tool-less replaceable elec

The FID-30R includes an optical power meter and succeeds the FID-25R while the **FID-31R**, the updated standard model, replaces the FID-26R. The fibre identifiers, used for identifying the light power presence in optical fibres, include three detecting functions: TONE, TRAFFIC, and ONU. Both models include a trigger operated clamp to macro-bend the fibre in order to leak light which is then detected by two photo sensors. The fibre identifiers can detect the presence of several kinds of light signal and indicate signal directions. The trigger lock function ensures the fibre is clamped with constant pressure, while the 2.4" colour LCD touch panel, equipped with a backlight function, allows the user to view the estimated optical power in the fibre and select the desired wavelength of 1310nm, 1490nm, or 1550nm. Identification of modulated tones at 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz is provided, along with continuous wave and ONU signals. Users are also able to select from three detection sensitivity modes; normal, fast and fine. Other features of the battery operated FID30R/FID31R include robust body design, easy-to-use fibre clamp, status indicator and adjustable settings for result retaining, buzzer volume, backlight brightness, auto dimming and auto power off. The fibre identifiers can be used for UV-coated fibre, 0.9mm diameter tight buffered fibre, fibre cord up to 3mm in diameter, and fibre ribbon with up to 12 fibres. **Features**: - Robust body design for the field - Universal fiber clamp design applicable for many types of fibers - 2.4" full color LCD touch screen with the backlight - Trigger lock function for continuous fiber clamping - Adjustable setting - Connector head for power meter is interchangeable - Firmware update via internet

The **Fujikura 90S+** is a single fibre core alignment fusion splicer setting a new standard in the market for fusion splicing. The 90S+ is packed with a whole host of new and enhanced features specifically developed with the objective of enabling the user to work faster with higher precision.

The Fujikura 45S is the essential splicer based on active clad alignment tehcnology with features, Fast Operation, User-frendly Design, Versatile Functionality and Consistent Quality. The 45s offers faster operation thanks to the simultaneous fiber preparation enabled by the SS05 double fiber stripper, the new AD-16A fiber adapter for the CT50 cleaver and the clever set plate mechanism of the 45S itself. It is equipped with a mechanism linking the wind protector and fiber clamp so when you open wind protector, the fiber clamps opens automatically. It is also equipped with retention clamps which are reputed by Fujikura's conventional fusion splicer models. The retention clamps prevent the fiber from jumping out after the fiber clamps are opened. These mechanisms work in tandem to provide easy fiber handling and a reduction in the time it takes to transfer the fiber to the heater. Active Fuse Control Technology takes into account the cleave condition and the fiber brightness during splicing, hence the arc is always adequate. Moreover, with regards to Active Blade Management, since the CT50 cleaver is connected to the splicer via Bluetooth, the splicer monitors the blade’s life in every position and height. This capability allows automatic cleaver blade rotation when the 45S judges the blade is worn. **Features** - Faster operation - User-friendly design - Movable LCD monitor - Easy sleeve positioning - Removable battery - Smaller footprint - Consistent quality - Active Fusion Control
