Fujikura 90S+ Splicer

Core Alignment Fusion Splicer

The 90S+ is a single fiber core alignment fusion splicer setting a new standard in the market for fusion splicing.  The 90S+ is packed with a whole host of new and enhanced features specifically developed with the objective of enabling the user to work faster with higher precision.

Overall splice process time has been significantly reduced since the previous model (70S+). This has been achieved with a combination of improvements to the reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater, new fiber retention clamps, improved universal sheath clamps and a redesigned internal structure that matches the protection sleeve to the fusion splice point which enables splicing to be achieved without the need of the user to touch the 90S+ once the process has started.

*2: Measured with a cut-back method relevant to ITU-T and IEC standard after splicing Fujikura identical fibres. The average splice loss changes
depending on the environmental condition and fibre characteristics.
*3: Measured at room temperature. The definition of splice time is from the fibre image appeared in LCD monitor to the estimated loss displayed.
The average splice time changes depending on the environmental conditions, fibre type, and fibre characteristics.
*4: Measured at room temperature with the AC adapter. The heat time is defined from the start beep sound to the finish beep sound. The average
heat time changes depending on the environmental conditions, sleeve type and battery pack condition.
*5: The electrode life changes depending on the environmental conditions, fibre type and splice modes.
*6: Test condition
(1) Splice and heat time: 2 minutes cycle
(2) Using the splicer power save settings
(3) Using a not degraded battery
(4) At room temperature
The battery capacity changes when testing with different conditions from the above.
*7: The battery capacity decreases to a half after approx. 500 discharge and recharge cycles, The battery life is shortened further when using outside of the storage temperature range, operating temperature range, if completely discharged by storing for a long time without recharging.
