FITEL S185ROF Ring of Fire LDF Fusion Splicer

Overview

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. This arc-discharging makes the plasma field (high temperature field) wider and enables fusion splicing of large diameter fibers up to 800 µm cladding diameter. This unique arc-discharging can heat optical fibers uniformly and reduce the splice loss of the fibers with dissimilar cladding diameters.

Key Capabilities

LDF splicing up to 800 µm
Three electrode Ring of Fire^® arc-discharging
Low splice loss
Compact size
LCD touch panel provides easy operation
Fiber clamps land gently to prevent damage to the fiber
Remote control by Wi-Fi communication

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.
Due to the high temperature of ROF, it may not be possible depending on the diameter, thickness and material of the coating.
These are references. Depending on the environment and condition, the number vary.
This value is references. Depending on the type of fiber and condition of fiber on splicer, the number can vary.
