FITEL S185PMROF

High-end PM LDF Fusion Splicer featuring Ring of Fire® (ROF)

Though the main body is the same compact design of the S185 series, Ring of Fire® models equip the powerful arc-discharging with three electrodes instead of two electrodes. The FITEL S185PMROF arc-discharging makes the plasma field (high temperature field) wider and enables fusion splicing of large diameter fibers up to 800μm cladding diameter. This unique arc-discharging can heat optical fibers uniformly and reduce the splice loss of the fibers with dissimilar cladding diameters.

Product Features: FITEL S185PMROF

  • PM LDF splicing up to 800um

  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. Due to the high temperature of ROF, it may not be possible depending on the diameter, thickness and material of the coating. 

  3. These are references. Depending on the environment and condition, the number vary. 

  4. 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. 

  5. This value is references. Depending on the type of fiber and condition of fiber on splicer, the number can vary.
