For most of the photonics industry, 125um cladding single mode or multimode fibers are widely considered standard fibers for fusion splicing. However, there are also specialty fiber splicing needs at today’s photonics fiber factories, manufacturing and production houses and R&D labs and Government facilities. Such specialty fiber applications require capabilities for improved imaging, mechanical alignment, arc and power controls. The types of specialty fibers frequently encountered are LMA fiber, Double clad fiber, Triple clad, small core and large core fibers, shaped cores, multiple core fiber, Polarization Maintaining fiber, Photonic Crystal fibers and many more.
In order to successfully fusion splice these different fiber types it often times requires the splicer user to spend large amounts of time optimizing and creating splice program recipes. FiberBank is a Fitel splicer program that gives the operator easy online access to a library of pre-optimized splice recipe programs developed exclusively for the Fitel S185 series fusion splicer. If we don’t have your specialty fiber combination listed then you can supply us with a sample of your specific fibers and a custom program will be made for you to download directly from the Fitel FiberBank exclusive website. There is no cost at all for this service and it is available any time to owners of the the Fitel S185 and S179A series units.
Our specialty fiber fusion splicers are designed and developed to give the operator maximum freedom and flexibility at a lower retail price than any other specialty fiber splicer on the market today.
