How to choose a Right Splicing Machine (Fusion Splicer)

With over 30 years’ experience of fusion splicer innovation, production and supply; Sumitomo Electric fusion splicers are used worldwide by network installers, fiber optic manufacturers, data center constructors, and carrier-grade network operators.

Sumitomo Electric’s product range is comprehensive; from handheld micro-splicers through splicers for FTTx and data center build to High Definition Core Aligning splicers for the backbone network and ribbon splicers for high-density networks.

Difference between Single Fiber Fusion Splicer & Mass Fusion Splicer

Single fiber splicers and mass or ribbon splicers are two main types of fusion splicers in the market. You should choose the right one for them according to your specific applications.

What is Single Fiber Fusion Splicer, Briefly-

Single fiber splicers usually splice 250-micron fiber, but can also hold 900 microns jacketed fiber, flat drop cable and splice on connectors (also known as splice-on-connectors) used mostly for FTTH applications as well. One piece of fiber is stripped, cleaned, cleaved then inserted into the fiber holder. Another fiber repeats the same process to lay in the opposite fiber holder. Most newer single fusion splicer models can splice in less than ten seconds and estimate attenuation (loss of light). Of course, this is only an estimation and the fiber should be tested more accurately with an OTDR.

Single Fiber splicers are given below as - 

First Model - Z1C CORE ALIGNMENT FUSION SPLICER

Second Model - SUMITOMO SPLICING MACHINE 82C

Model third- SUMITOMO SPLICING MACHINE T-400S

The question in Mind, What is Mass Fusion Splicer

Mass or ribbon splicers can splice 1 to 12 fibers all at once. The fiber holders determine the number of fibers you can splice at once. Mass splicers are not nearly as popular as the single fiber splicers, but if used on cable where more than one fiber needs to be spliced they are extremely efficient. When fiber counts of over 96 are needed, there can be up to a 65% savings per splice costs. Let’s say on average a single fiber splice costs $25 and a ribbon splice is $110 each. At a location that needs 144 splices, the single fiber splicer would run a cost of $3600. A ribbon splicer would only perform 12 splices at a total of $1320. The following mass fusion splicer is a Sumitomo splicing machine 81M12. Sumitomo splicing machine 81M12 is also known as Ribbon fusion splicer.

Difference between Core Alignment Fusion Splicer & Cladding Alignment Fusion Splicer

Currently, there is two aligning systems used for fusion splicer which is core alignment system and cladding alignment system.

First Model - Core Alignment Fusion Splicer 

Core alignment splicing is currently the most commonly used fusion splicing technology. Core alignment splicers use a combination of image and light detection systems that “view” the fiber cores to measure and monitor core position during the alignment process. 

This provides for precise fiber alignment, resulting in a typical splice loss of the only 0.02dB. Compared to cladding alignment, it is more expensive, more powerful and flexible, and less sensitive to variations in the cable and environment. Core alignment fusion splicers have long been the preferred method for CATV installations, backbone networks, specialty fiber applications, and optical components manufacturing largely because of their high accuracy and reliability. Sumitomo Splicing Machine z1c is also known as Core Alignment Fusion Splicer. Find the best Core Alignment Fiber optic splicing Machine with high-class Sevices from Candid Optronix.

Sumitomo Second Model- Cladding Alignment Fusion Splicer- More basic fusion splicers employ clad alignments to line up the fibers for splicing. The fibers sit in a holder or V-groove and are lined up “physically”, based on the outer diameter of the fiber’s cladding. Fiber cores are adjusted inwards and outwards. 

The advantage of this method is that the technology required is low cost and fast alignment and splicing, so it is still utilized on low-cost field fusion splicers and ribbon splicers. However, since the outer diameters are aligned doesn’t mean the cores will be perfectly aligned. Cladding alignment splicers typically produce higher loss splices and lack the features and flexibility of higher end splicers. Sumitomo Splicing Machine T-400S also known as Cladding Alignment Fusion Splicer.
