AFL’s new Fujikura 90 Series fusion splicers
AFL’s new Fujikura splicer models, the 90S single fibre fusion splicer and 90R ribbon fusion splicer feature ergonomic improvements, combined with enhancements to automate operation, and are designed to maximise productivity in the field and minimise downtime for routine maintenance. The Fujikura 90 series models also feature a touchscreen monitor that enables immediate access to key
software functions; a redesigned transit case that adds multiple workstation configurations and increased storage space for splicing accessories and consumables; enhanced Bluetooth® cleaver management that allows tracking and management of two cleavers simultaneously and an approximate 50% increase in battery life. The Fujikura 90S features a new multi-function sheath clamp which incorporates an innovative dual clamping capability that enables proper clamping of loose
jacketed 900 µm without the need to exchange the sheath clamp. New fibre retention clamps also secure the completed splice in the v-grooves to enable quicker application of the protection sleeve and transfer to the sleeve heater. The Fujikura 90R, primarily used with ribbon fibre, is provided with a spare 12-fibre v-groove and electrode assembly which can be quickly exchanged in the field to address silica buildup and contamination issues that often slow the splicing productivity of
high fibre count cables. For more information, visit www. AFLglobal.com.
ADVA’s compact 100G edge demarcation solution
ADVA has launched the industry’s most compact demarcation and aggregation technology, bringing cost- effective MEF 3.0-certified 100Gbps services to the network edge. The ADVA FSP 150-XG400 Series enables businesses and mobile network operators (MNOs) to easily scale their metro networks and tackle booming bandwidth demand. Specifically engineered to deliver MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet 100Gbps demarcation and 10Gbps service aggregation, the new product family features the market’s only uncompromised line-rate 100Gbps activation testing. It also supports hardware-based timing for ultra-precise frequency and phase synchronisation, making it the ideal choice for radio access networks. With its high-density
and environmentally hardened design, the ADVA FSP 150-XG400 Series is also easy to deploy in space-restrictive locations with no temperature control – a key requirement for the rollout of 5G connectivity. The ADVA FSP 150-XG400 Series of high-density service aggregation solutions is the ultimate tool for scaling edge networks for future wholesale, business, mobile fronthaul and backhaul service needs. Available in a 1RU or 2RU form factor, the unprecedentedly compact and highly versatile product range features 1, 10, 25, 40 or 100GbE interfaces. Each device comes with carrier-class Ethernet OAM and Y.1564 feature sets, including unique full line-speed activation testing for services up to 100Gbps. The ADVA FSP 150-XG400 Series supports network overlay
capabilities for the delivery of MEF services over IP networks. It also provides standard SDN interfaces and can be directly controlled from open source and commercial SDN controllers. Able to withstand an extended temperature range, the
ADVA FSP 150-XG400 Series avoids the high cost of air conditioning, enabling ease of deployment even in extreme environments.
