Fujikura 90R Splicer

90R12 Mass Fusion Splicer

The Fujikura 90R is the mass fusion splicer workhorse of the splicing world. As data demand continues to rise, the solution to handle the increased traffic is to increase fiber counts. As a result, fiber counts being utilized in enterprise data centers, campus, and metro networks have grown enough to make single fiber splicing too costly and timely. High density cabling made possible by SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) and others like it are spurring ribbon splicing activity in places that have traditionally used loose fiber. The 90R is the answer to these changes in splicing demand.

With automated splice start, tube heater, wind protector, cleave tracking, and blade rotations for up to 2 cleavers at a time, this splicer frees up operator time for other fiber preparation steps. With 16-fiber add-ons, the Fujikura 90R splicer enables customers to successfully splice 16-count ribbon fibers with a 200 µm pitch and size.

The 90R12 mass fusion splicer has a wide heating area for up to 12 fibers. The wide electrode gap melts the fibers uniformly and has real-time arc discharge control by analyzing the arc’s brightness intensity. The 90R12 does not have active core alignment mechanisms; however, during the discharge, fiber surface tension effects minimize preexisting offsets.

Features:

  • Cleaver tracking and upkeep with wireless communication
  • Automated wind protector, tube heater and splice operation
  • User replaceable v-grooves
  • 200 μm and 250 μm SWR universal ribbon prep accessories
  • Graphical User Interface with 5.0″ Touchscreen
  • PC software and 90R manual downloaded from splicer
  • Multi-function transit case with integrated workstation

Applications:

  • Data Center cable installation
  • High fiber count metro and campus networks
  • Long-haul network installs and repair
  • Trunk cable repair with Splice-on MPOs
  • Ribbon splicing high density cables with 200 μm loose fiber
