Multimode fiber optic fusion splicer accessories

Multimode fiber optic fusion splicer accessories include fiber holders, cleavers, splice protection sleeves, electrodes, batteries, and specialized splicing tools to ensure precise and reliable splicing.

Essential Accessories

Fiber Holders and Adapters Multimode fibers require specific holders to secure the fiber during splicing. Common options include FH-70-250 and FH-70-900 fiber holders, which accommodate different fiber diameters and jacket types, ensuring proper alignment during fusion splicing . Fiber Cleavers Precision cleavers like the CT-50 or CT-16 are essential for creating clean, perpendicular fiber ends. Replacement blades and adapter plates are also available to maintain cleaver performance . Fusion Splice Protection Sleeves Protection sleeves safeguard the fused joint. Options include standard, slim, mini, and micro sleeves. Clear outer tubes allow visual inspection of fiber color and alignment, which is particularly useful for multimode fibers . Electrodes and Consumables Spare electrodes are necessary for maintaining consistent arc performance in fusion splicers. Regular replacement ensures high-quality splices and reduces splice loss . Power and Battery Accessories Fusion splicers often come with rechargeable battery packs (e.g., BTR-17) and AC adapters. Having spare batteries ensures uninterrupted field operations . Splicing Tools and Workstation Accessories Additional tools include fiber arrangement and assembly tools, thermal strippers, ribbonizing tools, splice assembly fixtures, organizer trays, and fiber scrap collectors. These accessories streamline the splicing process and improve efficiency . Kits and Carry Cases Complete splicing kits often include the splicer, cleaver, fiber holders, electrodes, battery, AC adapter, USB cable, work tray, and carry case. These kits are convenient for field deployment and multimode fiber projects .

Optional Accessories

• Ribbon Fiber Arrangement Tools for splicing multiple fibers simultaneously.
• Mechanical Splicing Tools for temporary or emergency splices.
• Inspection Microscopes and Video Scopes to verify fiber end-face quality.
• Fiber Scrap Collectors to maintain a clean workspace. By equipping a multimode fiber optic fusion splicer with these accessories, technicians can achieve precise, low-loss splices while maintaining efficiency and reliability in both field and lab environments .
