FITEL S185LDF High-end Fusion Splicer

Fusion Splicer for LDF Splicing up to 500μm

The FITEL S185LDF High-end Fusion Splicer is designed for splicing standard diameter 80um up to 500μm cladding fiber with low splice loss. The powerful and compact design has been optimized for the fiber laser industry. The new fiber alignment mechanism achieves low splice loss and the new design allows for the fiber clamps to land gently to reduce the possibility of damage to fiber. Battery operation and a compact design make transportation easy for the LDF Fusion splicer.

Product Features:

  • LDF splicing up to 500um
  • Low splice loss
  • Compact size
  • High capacity built-in battery (Optional)
  • LCD touch panel provides easy operation
  • Fiber clamps land gently to prevent damage to the fiber
  • Remote control by Wi-Fi communication

  1. Fibers should be applied to ITU-T standard. In case of other fibers, depending on the type of fiber, the optimization of splice program may be needed or the splice result may not be satisfied.
  2. These are references. Depending on the environment and condition, the number vary.
  3. Extinction ratio -36.8dB is measured in the condition that the initial extinction ratio is -40dB and there is the splice with 0.6 degree of rotation offset.
  4. This value is references. Depending on the type of fiber and condition of fiber on splicer, the number can vary.
  5. This value can produce using fully charged brand new battery at room temperature 20 degree C. Depending on the condition of the battery and operation environment, the number can vary.
