Thus, this device can not only be used as a single fibre solution but for splicing fibre ribbons and ‘rollable ribbon’ cables as well. Depending on the guide element, ribbons with two, four, eight, or twelve fibres and a 200µm or 250μm cladding can be supported.
Regardless of the fibre type, the automatic offset correction always guarantees a good splice result – in just 13 to 15 seconds. The robust device is easy to operate via a touchpad and has a WiFi option for easy control and data transmission.
Fibre ribbons – especially rollable ribbon fibres – are becoming increasingly popular where many fibres have to be laid in a short amount of time. This applies, for example, to data centers, metro networks, and the 5G rollout. In these cases, local operators need a fast, flexible splicer such as the FITEL S124M12.
