Release new Fusion Splicers - S178A & S153A

The S178A is the successor to the best selling S177A. The S178A has a more rugged, compact and lighter body compared to the previous model with vastly improved splicing & heating time.
 
Using the same rugged metal body of S178A, FEC will also launch another new Fusion Splicer in February 2010.
 
The S153A.
 
The S153A is a new concept machine which uses an 揂ctive clad alignment?function, which achieves lower splicing loss with less user skills required compared to a conventional Fixed V-groove Clad Alignment Fusion Splicer.
 
These two machines are both designed to endure harsh operating conditions by improving shock / impact resistance with rubber pads embedded on 4 corners of the splicer body. Both fusion splicers also achieve water resistance compliant to IPX2 and dust resistance compliant to IP5X.
 
Another key feature of the S178A and the S153A is the significantly reduced operation time. Protection sleeve shrink time is mere 25 seconds, while splicing requires only 7 seconds with S178A. Power saving technology used in these machines allows up to 200 splicing cycles (splicing and heating) with 2 built in rechargeable batteries. By combining improved speed, precision, durability and portability in one body, the S178A and S153A ushers in entirely new possibilities for fusion splicing applications.
 
Currently, Core Alignment fusion splicers are widely used in FTTx, LAN, Long-haul installation, data center and/or OEM applications across the world and traditionally FITEL is well known for its hand-held fusion splicer series. With this even more compact S178A, FEC applied new design ideas to meet our customers requirements for more rugged splicers resulting in increased drop/water/dust resistance. The S178A also enables shorter splicing/heating time by using a redeveloped electronic circuit and design. In using this new design, FEC also achieved 30% less power consumption when the unit is in stand-by mode compared with the previous model (S177A).
 
The S178A is capable of splicing common telecommunication fibers such as SM / MM / DS and EDF/ High-delta fibers which is also widely used for optical components. In addition, the S178A also boasts splice programs for BIF / UBIF (Bend Insensitive Fiber / Ultra Bend Insensitive Fiber) which has been in more common use for FTTH applications.
 
The S153A (Active Clad Alignment Splicer) is developed based on the concept of easy and precise splicing by anybody? The S153A can perform hassle free splicing compared with conventional Clad Alignment Splicers, with an apparent cost benefit compared to Core Alignment Splicers. S153A, users can enjoy almost the same benefit as S178A users, in speed, precision, durability and portability.
 
Features
 
Shock resistant design
4 rubber pads on the corners of the machine boosts the shock resistance significantly compared with the previous models. The S178 is capable of producing precise splicing after 76cm drops from 5 different angles. 
Dust / Water resistant design
New design achieved IPX2 water resistance and IP5X dust resistance.
Compatible with Splice on Connector (SOC)
Both S178A and S153A are SOC compatible with Seikoh Giken and Diamond SA connectors.

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

  In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

 What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
