Fusion splicer

AFL introduces the Fujikura 22S active cladding alignment fusion splicer. With moveable v-grooves, splicer errors due to dust and other contaminants are virtually eliminated. Removable sheath clamps allow the use of fiber holders and the large monitor provides a crystal clear image, even in bright sunlight.
 
The fully ruggedized chassis provides for shock, dust, and moisture protection while the two camera observation system provides for accurate fiber alignment and loss estimation calculations. Additional features include a long-life battery which provides power for up to 200 splice cycles (including the application of the splice sleeve), and the electrode life which has been extended to 5,000 splices, minimizing downtime for replacement and stabilizations. The transit case and work tray provide multiple options for utilizing workspace.
 
Software updates are available via the Internet allowing users to quickly update their software as new splice programs become available. The Fujikura 22S is also fully compatible with the FUSEConnect line of fusion installable connectors..
