TiniFiber ® , FiberFox partner for new arc fusion splicers
TiniFiber, which manufactures patented TiniFiber Micro Armor Fiber optical cabling solutions, has partnered with FiberFox America Inc. to unveil two new arc fusion splicer systems that it says will help installers speed the precision, low-loss splicing of the company’s compact, lightweight and durable armoured fibre optic cables. Providing Active Core Alignment and V-groove splicing respectively, the Mini 6S+ (pictured) and Mini 12R+ are, the company says, the industry’s smallest arc fusion splicers and both come with two batteries as standard. The Mini 6S+ uses six motors to directly align fibre cores for reliable single strand splices, while the Mini 12R+ can handle up to 12 ribbon fibre strands simultaneously. TiniFiber says both of the new systems offer comprehensive
a ‘quick mode’ will deliver a single mode splice time of just six seconds. Up to 90 splice programs and up to 32 heating programs can be configured by the user and onboard memory accommodates saving up to 10,000 splice records and 2,000 splice images. The Mini 12R+ has similar dimensions as the Mini 6S+ and weighs 3.05lbs (1.38kg). Typical splice loss is from 0.02dB to 0.08dB depending on cable type; typical splice time is 15 seconds. Up to 140 splice programs and up to 38 heating programs can be configured by the user and the unit’s splice memory supports up to 5,000 records. Each unit is supplied as a kit inside a protective yellow hard carry case and will come with a 3-pack of FastTrack Calibration Services, performed in the USA. Services include – demo loaner, factory refresh, software updates, replace electrodes, clean optical components, diagnostic and performance test.
touchscreen control and feature a two-CCD camera system for high-accuracy fibre alignment. The units are fully compatible with Splice-On Connector (SOC) technology and are supplied with a thermal stripper, precision cleaver, cleaning kit and all of
the consumables needed to get up and running immediately. The Mini 6S+ measures 4.88 x 4.85 x 5.43 inches (124 x 123.2 x 138mm) and weighs 3.4lbs (1.54kg). Typical splice loss is from 0.01dB to 0.04dB depending on cable type and
R&M expands FTTH splice closure portfolio
Reichle & De-Massari (R&M), has launched new FO distribution high- density splice closures SYNO S series and ZOONA STP12, which offer two to three times the fibre capacity of conventional distribution splice closures for FTTH connections, says the company. The SYNO S-400HD accommodates 2,304 ribbon fibres and 384 single-fibre splices. The leading model is the SYNO S-500HD with a capacity of 3,456 ribbon fibre and 576 single fibre splices in a 25×70-centimetre housing. The modular tray concept of the SYNO S series splice closures gives network operators flexibility in terms of FTTH connections. Technicians can also configure the splice closures on-site as required. Each tray can be
equipped with holders for single fibre or ribbon fibre splices or splitters, and the segmented cable entry bays with SYNO gel seals are also freely configurable. This means that FTTH companies can implement all kinds of topologies and applications with a single system. They can plan the network with different cable types to suit the premises. In the future, cabling can be densified or changed quickly on demand, as the splice closures can be opened in just a few simple steps. The outdoor splice closure ZOONA STP12 with a capacity of up to 144 single fibre splices. The compact ZOONA splice closures are used in masts and facades as well as in niches and shafts. The ZOONA144 is a cost-efficient solution for gradually expanding or quickly increasing the density of the FO infrastructure on
the last mile to customers. Technicians can prepare the splice closures for installation within minutes without special tools and specialist training. This is why the ZOONA is particularly suitable for time-critical roll- outs. The mechanical QIKseal
developed by R&M is self- explanatory. The high-density splice closures SYNO S-400HD and ZOONA STP12 round out the R&M portfolio for the FTTx market. It covers all network levels from the central office and PoP to the service area interface.
