Clad Alignment Fujikura 45S Fusion Splicer

What is the Fujikura 45S Fusion Splicer?

The Fujikura 45S Fusion Splicer is a modern fusion splicer built to perform high-precision fiber optic splicing in a highly efficient manner. Utilizing active clad alignment technology, this tool aligns the fiber’s cladding instead of simply aligning the core, allowing for remarkably low splice loss with multiple fiber types: both single-mode and multi-mode fibers.
The tool is a popular choice among telecom contractors, network installers, and field technicians who require reliable performance and portability. The compact design and long battery life help with demanding work in an outdoor or indoor environment.

How does the 45S provide superior fiber splicing?

By using active clad alignment, the 45S aligns fibers that have a cladding diameter of approximately 125µm. This results in splices that meet the very tight specifications imposed by ITU-T standards on all types of fiber, including G.652, G.651, G.653, G.655, and G.657 fibers, with average splice loss values of 0.01 dB.
In general, splicing occurs quickly (i.e., 6 to 8 seconds) using SM FAST mode. This not only helps increase productivity at a faster pace for field-based troubleshooting, but the addition of low splice loss technology changes the game when it comes to a field-based project with a short turnaround. The splicer allows for multiple coating diameters to be supported (up to 3000µm diameters), increasing versatility.
After splicing, there is a heat-shrinkable sleeve to protect the splice joint. Shrinking the sleeve is very fast (16 to 23 seconds), where the time depends on both the size and mode, with added gravity in streamlining the workflow.

The All-Inclusive Standard Package: One Kit, Everything You Need

It is clear that a full splicing solution is more than just a splicer. The Fujikura 45S standard package has put together a curated grouping of tools and accessories to cover all sorts of fiber/cable types you will encounter in the field. Below is a table that provides everything included:

This is a complete toolkit that covers nearly all splice scenarios you will encounter in the field. It helps to provide flexibility for your designs with little need for additional purchases.
