Multicore Fiber Splicing: Low Fusion Splice Loss Technique

FITEL S185PMROF and S185PMLDF fusion splicers provide industry leading Multicore Fiber (MCF) splicing performance.

 

A recent Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. white paper highlights the 0.07dB splice performance of the 2-electrode FITEL S185PMLDF and and jaw dropping 0.02dB splice performance of the 3-electrode FITEL S185PMROF. The FITEL S185PMROF is the only commercially available fusion splicer featuring 3SAE's third generation, patented Ring of Fire® heat source.

 

Abstract: Splice loss of 4-core fiber using 2-electrode fusion splicer by automatic rotational alignment with duration time of 150 sec is reduced to 0.07 dB, getting closer to 0.02 dB by 3-electrode fusion splicer.
