New concept in fusion splicing
25 August 2004
Interconnection
Furukawa Electric has introduced a handheld optical fibre fusion splicer with high-end functionality to provide the solution for FTT(x) and datacom splicing applications. The S121A is said to be easily operated, with a 13 s splice time.
To use, the fibres are simply set in place and a button pressed. The entire process from fibre feed to tension test is fully automatic. A standard 62,5 mm colour LCD monitor displays a magnified image of the fibres as viewed by the CCD camera and provides simple and accurate confirmation of the splice quality.
The S121A incorporates a fibre holder system for greater ease and consistency, and thanks to its 'T-shape' design, can be placed inside the closure and splice with very short fibre lengths. An optional heat shrink oven is available for applying protective sleeves to the splice, as well as a tool for applying non-shrink ULTRAsleeve.
With its standard soft carrying case, the S121A is as portable as a camera and can be attached to a belt for hands-free operation.
