What is Fusion Splicer And How to Splice Two Fibers?
May 22 , 2020
What is a fiber optical fusion splicer? Fusion splicer is to use high-temperature heat generated by electric arc and melt two optical fibers together at their end faces,to form single long fiber.More precisely, the fiber ends are initially brought in close contact,with a small gap in between. After heating them for a short while such that the surfaces melt, they are pushed together, such that the ...

Fusion Splicer Maintenance how to Clean its V-groove?
Jun 09 , 2020
Fusion splicer is a high precision equipment, it is very import to do the maintenance during daily work. V-groove is a V slot on the ceramic substrate of narrow width, easily to accumulate dust which will make the fiber move instability and cause a bad fusion, therefore, the V groove should be cleaned regularly. The following is the way of cleaning the V-groove

The Classifications of Optical Fiber Fusion Splicers
Jul 24 , 2020
Before the fusion of the optical fiber fusion splicer, according to the material and type of the optical fiber, the key parameters such as the pre-melting main melting current and time and the fiber feeding amount are set. During the welding process, the “V” shaped groove, electrode, objective lens, welding chamber, etc. of the welding machine should be cleaned in time. Observe the presence or abs...

The maintenance and replacement of electrodes for optical fiber fusion splicer
Aug 28 , 2020
The electrode rod is an important part of the welding machine. Discharge welding is completed by the electrode rod. However, many people do not understand that the electrode rod is a consumable and needs to be replaced when it reaches a certain life span. Although the metal itself is hard and will not be worn by external forces, it needs to withstand high temperature discharge for a long time. At ...

What is the difference between single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber? Which one to choose?
Sep 21 , 2020
The first is to introduce the difference between multimode fiber and single mode fiber: Multimode fiber The optical signal in multimode fiber propagates through multiple channels; it is usually recommended to be used when the distance is less than miles. The effective distance of multimode fiber from transmitter to receiver is about 5 miles. The usable follow-up is also affected by the type and qu...

Cleaning of fusion splicer's microscopes (objective lenses)
Oct 23 , 2020
The fusion splicer uses the image processing system to observe the optical fiber. If the microscopic lens becomes dirty, it will affect the normal optical fiber observation, resulting in poor welding effect. Therefore, the lenses of the two microscopes should be cleaned regularly to keep the microlenses clean and tidy. The specific process is as follows: (1) turn off the power supply of the f...

Precautions for Using Fusion Splicer in Winter
Dec 07 , 2020
For communication workers working outdoors, the working environment in winter is relatively harsh. Rain and snow, windy weather, and foggy weather all bring great challenges to welding. The staff is shivering in the cold outside. The fusion splicer is also prone to failure. Today, I will give you some tips for using the fusion splicer in harsh environments and the points that should be paid attent...

The simple failure analysis and elimination of fusion splicer
Dec 23 , 2020
1. During the splicing process, the fusion splicer displays "fiber not found or the end face of the fiber is untidy". This is mainly caused by the surface of the optical system being contaminated. The protective glass (located under the electrode) should be cleaned with absolute alcohol, and the lens on the fiber cover should be cleaned at the same time. Wait until the alcohol is dry before procee...

Daily maintenance of fusion splicer
Apr 09 , 2021
In the fusion state, the optical fiber advancement stops and the machine does not perform fusion operation. The reason is that the V-groove is dirty and must be cleaned. After closing the windproof cover, the optical fiber will not push forward. Reason: 1. The bare optical fiber is placed too far from the electrode or beyond the electrode, please replay the optical fiber. 2. The objective lens has...

How to distinguish SM and MM fiber?
May 07 , 2021
According to the transmission mode of light in the fiber, it can be divided into: single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber. The core diameter of the multimode fiber is 50-62.5μm, the outer diameter of the cladding is 125μm, the core diameter of the single-mode fiber is 8.3μm, and the outer diameter of the cladding is 125μm. The working wavelength of the optical fiber has short wavelength 0.85μm, lon...

ARC Checking and Maintenance of the Splicer
May 21 , 2021
Working with fiber optics takes a delicate hand and some patience. One of the most used pieces of equipment is a fusion splicer. A fusion splicer uses an electric arc to fuse two pieces of optical fiber (glass) together so that light can pass through with no scatter of light or light reflected back (backscatter) by the splice. Fusion splicing helps to reduce loss in your network. Typical loss thro...

What does AUTO mean in splicing mode of optical fiber fusion splicer?
Jun 18 , 2021
AUTO automatically recognizes the fiber type and corrects the discharge parameter mode in real time. SM is a single-mode fiber mode, NZ is a non-zero displacement dispersion fiber mode, and DS is a displacement dispersion fiber mode. Optical fibers for communication are generally SM (single-mode) or MM (multi-mode), of which SM is the majority. SeikoFire S5 optical fiber fusion splicer is mainly u...

Four Basic Steps to Complete a Proper Fusion Splicing
Jul 15 , 2021
Step 1. Preparing the Fibers 1. Strip jacket and remove an adequate amount of jacket, usually 2-3 m, for splicing and dressing the buffer tubes and fibers in the splice closure. Leave the proper amount of strength members to attach the cable to the closure. Refer to the splice closure directions for lengths needed. Clean all water-blocking materials using appropriate cleaners. 2. Remove buffer tub...

Why the fiber end face always appears bad when the fusion splicer is splicing?
Aug 04 , 2021
1. The new end face is contaminated by debris, dust, etc. Solution: Do not let the cut fiber end face touch anything; 2. When cutting the optical fiber, the angle is too large. In this case, it may be a problem with the cleaver blade. Change a blade for an interview, or there may be debris in the fiber groove of the cleaver. Use a sharp object to clean the fiber groove. ; 3. There are gray and dar...
