Fiber optic fusion splicers

General information

To perform high-quality splicing of optical fibers, it is necessary to use a professional fusion splicer for fiber optics and a precise optical fiber cleaver. Among the equipment for splicing fiber optics (or as it is also called: splicers for optics), the products of the Japanese company Fujikura are especially popular. The devices for splicing fiber optics, which are produced by this company, are distinguished by excellent reliability, ease of use and a relatively low price. Fujikura fusion splicers have held the first position among similar devices for many years and allow splicing of any types of modern fibers on all types of networks: trunk, city, district, FTTx, PON, SCS and others.

We provide comprehensive information and technical support for Fujikura products, including practical recommendations for splicing and installation of fiber optics. Warranty and post-warranty service of fusion splicers and cleavers is provided at the service center in Kyiv. When purchasing a fusion splicer, training (theory + practice) can be provided with a personal certificate. In addition, advisory support is provided via mobile phone.

Additional equipment

In addition to the main list of fiber optic fusion splicers presented above, the following additional models and series are produced: the specialized Fujikura FSM-100 series, the universal Fujikura 62S series, the compact Fujikura 36S series and the Fujikura 19S clad alignment series. The following cleavers are also offered: the automatic Fujikura CT50, the classic Fujikura CT08 and the cheap manual Fujikura CT-02.

Manufacturers of fiber optic splicers regularly develop and launch new models of splicers with expanded capabilities and improved performance. Some time after the start of sales of new models, old models and series are discontinued. A complete list of discontinued splicers, including proposed replacements, can be found here: discontinued fusion splicers for fiber optics.

Basic theory

Buying an inexpensive and high-quality fiber optic fusion splicer is not always easy. When choosing a model, in addition to the standard parameters: fiber alignment method and splicing losses, it is necessary to take into account additional characteristics and capabilities of the splicer: splicing and heat shrinkage speed, electrode life, number of splicing/heat shrinkage cycles from a standard battery, computer connection interface, a set of additional functions, operating temperature range, quality and durability of the device, the reputation of the manufacturer, the professionalism and reliability of the supplier, the availability of a service center, warranty period and much more. In addition, you may need technical advice on the types of fusion splicers produced: with precise alignment by the fiber core, with active alignment using V-shaped grooves and with alignment by the clad.
