Fujikura 90S+ Core Alignment Fusion Splicer – 7 Sec Splicing Time & Fast Heat Time with CT50 Fiber Cleaver

Fujikura 90S+ Core Alignment Fusion Splicer: In-Depth Analysis

The Fujikura 90S+ fusion splicer is an advanced fiber optic splicing technology, used by the professional technician looking for speed and accuracy. This splicer was built for technicians performing distribution repairs, installers outfitting long-haul installations, and access network terminations who want to do more, faster, with a one-stop splicing/cleaving solution.

If you have ever used conventional fusion splicers, you know how they focus on ‘properties’, not precision. The 90S+ uses an optical core alignment system to center the fibers for the purpose of precision and accuracy. The 90S+ alignment system was designed to align two fibers in a manner that minimizes core-cladding concentricity irregularities that can add splice loss. With strong, consistent splices, you can maintain signal integrity at every junction in the fiber optic transmission path.

What makes the Fujikura 90S+ different?

Speed of Splicing and Heating Cycles

The 90S+ has an average splicing time of 6–7 seconds, an average heating time of 19–20 seconds, and it was built with speed and efficiency in mind. This means technicians will be able to do more in less time. These two features are very important for large-scale network build-outs and for emergency repairs or some repair counts. The heating cycle was specifically designed so that the joint of the protection sleeve can be fully secured—more on this later.

Precise Alignment of the Fiber and Tamper-Proof Image Processing

The 90S+ uses advanced image processing (with a male and female side) to analyze the brightness pattern of the fiber—then uses this information to identify the location of the fiber’s core. This feature allows for exact core alignment, which is an important factor for obtaining consistent low splice loss. Even fibers with minor cleave errors or concentricity deviations can be spliced without issue. This technology goes beyond simple visual alignment and offers a reliable method that minimizes costly rework and downtime in the field.

Automatic Fiber Discrimination

This device also automatically discriminates the fiber type (single-mode, multimode, or specialty) and automatically adjusts the arc discharge parameters. Thus, the splicing process is accordingly tailored to the fiber’s unique characteristics for maximum splice strength and minimal signal attenuation.

How Can Technicians Use It on Site?

Fiber & Buffer Compatibility

Recognizing the unique nature of fiber optic cables, the 90S+ splicer comes ready with versatile fiber holders that can accommodate a coated fiber range of 200 micrometers to 900 micrometers in diameter, working with both loose buffer and tight buffer cables with ease, and every sort of environment in between.

Everything Included to Operate Right from the Box

Beyond a splicer, the kit includes the CT50 optical fiber cleaver, which is precise and reliable, to achieve perfectly cleaved fibers every time you perform a splice. This makes sure that technicians have everything they need to prepare and protect the splice, including batteries, adapters, spare electrodes, fiber holders, cleaning brushes, and a rugged light carrying kit that also serves as a workstation.

Everything included allows for minimal downtime and maximum readiness.

Simple User Interface & Battery Life

A clean display gives splicing data in an easy-to-read format, and the operator’s manual is pre-loaded on the device in PDF format for easy reference without digging through a field manual.

A lithium-ion battery supports roughly 300 splice and heat cycles per charge. This keeps interruptions to a minimum when working outside in the field for long periods and provides flexibility when working in areas without a constant power source.

Applications and Typical Use Cases of the Fujikura 90S+ Fusion Splicer

The 90S+ is applicable for many fiber optic applications including, but not limited to — fiber distribution repair, access network builds, fanout kits, and splice cassette terminations. It is compact and rugged so it can be relied upon when working outdoors or in tough conditions. In addition to fiber optic field use, the 90S+ can also be utilized for operational purposes involving optical modules such as splitters, multiplexers, and amplifiers.

Why the Fujikura 90S+ Fusion Splicer

For professionals looking for speed, accuracy, and convenient fusion splicing technology, the 90S+ will offer a reasonable return. With nimble operation, fast splicing cycle times, and a full accessory package, technicians can do their best work. A core alignment system combined with adaptive arc management will keep the splice as close to perfect as possible while maintaining network integrity.

And the additional CT50 optical fiber cleaver included in the package will add to the overall experience of splicing and help to perfect the preparation of fiber ends to enhance splicing performance.

When field portability and extreme precision meet, the Fujikura 90S+ Fusion Splicer is the premier tool built to keep up with today’s fiber optic splicing solutions in the field.
