Candid Optronix provides you with information and guidance on fiber optic fusion splicers.
Fiber optic fusion splicers are used to join two optical fibers together by fusing them using heat. This process ensures a low-loss connection between the fibers, enabling efficient transmission of optical signals. While we can't provide you with a live demonstration, I can explain the general steps involved in using a fusion splicer:
Fiber Stripping: The protective coatings on the ends of the fibers need to be removed using a fiber stripping tool to expose the bare glass fibers.
Fiber Cleaving: After stripping, the fibers are cleaved using a fiber cleaver. Cleaving produces a clean, flat end face, which is crucial for achieving a quality splice.
Fiber Alignment: The fusion splicer aligns the fibers precisely using an automated or manual alignment mechanism. This ensures that the cores of both fibers are aligned for optimal signal transmission.
Fusion Splicing: Once the fibers are aligned, an electric arc is generated to heat the fibers and fuse them together. The heat causes the fibers to melt and merge, creating a permanent and low-loss splice.
Splice Protection: After fusion splicing, a protective sleeve or heat shrink tube is placed over the spliced area and heated to provide mechanical strength and protect the splice from environmental factors.
While you may not be able to experience a live online demo, you can find various resources online that provide video tutorials and demonstrations of fiber optic fusion splicer usage. These resources can be helpful in understanding the operation and techniques involved in using a Sumitomo fusion splicer.
Additionally, We offer virtual training sessions through expert Sumitomo Technical Service Engineers, and you can schedule demonstrations of Sumitomo fiber optic fusion splicers. You can check with specific companies in the field to see if they provide any online learning opportunities.
Remember, when working with fiber joint splicers, it's crucial to follow the authorized Sumitomo manufacturer's/authorized distributors' instructions and safety guidelines to ensure proper usage and prevent damage to the equipment or fibers.
