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.
