2:59The reason 200µm ribbons has changed mass fusion splicing forever. Here are some considerations to keep in mind before starting your next 200µm splice job.
The Fujikura 90S fusion splicer was recognized among the best in the industry by the 2020 Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards.
19:05In this live stream, AFL's Lucas Mays will demonstrate several tips and tricks when using the Fujikura 90S fusion splicer to get the fastest cycle time possible
The Fujikura 90R Mass Fusion Splicer was recognized among the best in the industry with rating of 4 diamonds by the 2020 Broadband Technology Report's Diamond Technology Reviews.
In the June 2020 issue of Cabling Installation & Maintenance, AFL applications engineer Lucas Mays wrote about discovering new ways to efficiently connect in our fast-paced, ever changing world.
Seán Adam, AFL's vice president of market strategy and innovations, wrote the feature article of ICT Today's April/May/June 2020 issue, focusing on the need for a rich optical fiber infrastructure.
6:58The Fujikura 90R is the mass fusion splicer workhorse of the splicing world. As data demand continues to rise, the solution to handle the increased traffic is to increase fiber counts.
The new tool saves time and money by eliminating inefficiencies such as glue cure time and contamination of splicing equipment.
Designed to maximize productivity and minimize downtime, the new Fujikura splicers feature ergonomic improvements and other enhancements to automate operation.
5:01AFL introduces the Fujikura 90S Core Alignment Fusion Splicer w/ Active Blade Management with the CT50 Optical Cleaver.
9:42Maintenance Instructions for the Fujikura 90R and 90S Fusion Splicer including: cleaning v-grooves, cleaning camera lenses, ARC calibrations, replacing electrodes, diagnostic tests and more.
This white paper will introduce the larger categories of splice loss estimation methods and applications to better explain in context how the Fujikura's 41S splicer estimation technique performs.
5:11AFL presenta la empalmadora 90S de Fujikura con alineación de núcleos y la CT50 cortadora con manejo activa de la cuchilla.
7:08La 90R es una empalmadora de fibras múltiples con condiciones estables para realizar empalmes hasta 12 fibras. Puede empalmar cinta encapsulada convencional, así como diferentes cintas, incluyendo el
AFL application engineer, Lucas Mays, reflections on his experience at the Fall 2019 BICSO conference while also winning an innovation award.
AFL investigates and documents each aspect of the cable joining and the ribbon fiber splicing process of ultra-high density fiber optic cable in data center applications and new access networks.
This white paper aims to educate the industry on the different splicer technologies, using technical and data differentiators as opposed to marketing verbiage.
AFL was recognized with three awards: platinum for its Bluetooth®-enabled splicing family; gold for FlexScan® Quad OTDR; and silver for FOCIS Lightning®.
Cost study: Compared to a traditional splicer-cleaver combination, a Bluetooth-enabled splicer/cleaver combination produce a 76% cost of ownership reduction and weeks of time reclaimed.
