Fujikura 88R12 is a mass fusion splicer designed to splice up to 12 fiber ribbon cables simultaneously. The wide electrode gap melts the fibers uniformly and has real-time arc discharge control by analyzing the arc’s brightness intensity. The 88R12 does not have active core alignment mechanisms, however, during the discharge, fiber surface tension effects minimize preexisting offsets.
The 88R12 mass fusion splicer includes a spare set of 12 fiber V-grooves with electrodes installed and ready to splice as part of the standard package. These spare V-grooves are field replaceable, so your downtime is minimized.
Features
- Splicing time: 11-12 sec (SM FAST mode).
- Heat time: 13-15 sec (single 60 mm mode).
- Splice up to 12 fiber ribbon cables simultaneously.
- V-groove assembly, that can be quickly and easily replaced in the field, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
- Real-time arc discharge control by analyzing the arc’s brightness intensity.
- Features simple sleeve positioning with its designated centering area on top of the tube heater.
- Automatic cleaver blade management by wireless communication data connectivity when the splicer judges the blade is worn.
- Wireless link to ribbon fiber stripper to change settings to adequate one according to the ribbon fiber type to be spliced.
- Automated open-close wind protector and heater.
- Universal fiber holder, ribbon stripper and tube heater.
- Work tray with large capacity storage built in the carrying case.
- The lid of the carrying case may be used as a work table.
