FITEL S185EDV End-View Fusion Splicer

Overview

FITEL presents the newest addition to the S185 series. The FITEL S185EDV Fusion Splicer employs an End View system designed for splicing fiber with complicated internal structure such as Hollow Core, PCF and more. These fibers can be very difficult to align using a traditional Side View splicer. Viewing the cross sections images of the fibers gives more detail about the internal structure providing more control to the user for precise splicing results. Our Composite Image Technology overlays both End View fiber images into one picture, allowing the user to verify the alignment and fine tune to their exact requirements. The S185EDV can also be used to splice in traditional Side-View mode. All these features make the S185EDV a versatile, portable and precise splicing solution.

Fibers should be applied to the ITU-T standard. In case of other fibers, depending on the type of fiber, the optimization of the splice program may be needed, or the splice result may not be satisfied.
These are references. Depending on the environment and condition, the number varies.
Extinction ratio 40 dB is measured in the condition that the initial extinction ratio is more than 50 dB and there is the splice with 0.6 degree of rotation offset.
This value is a reference. Depending on the type of fiber and condition of fiber on splicer, the number can vary.
This value can be produced using a fully charged brand new battery at room temperature 20-degree C. Depending on the condition of the battery and operation environment, the number can vary.
