FEATURED PRODUCT
AFL FSM-19R+ 4 FIBER FUSION SPLICER
The Fujikura 19R+ is equipped with a precision, fixed v-groove for splicing single fibers or ribbon fiber up to 4 fibers. Incorporating the proven ruggedized features pioneered by Fujikura, the 19R+ has added automated and enhanced user control features to increase splicing efficiency. A user programmable, automated wind protector expedites the splicing process by automatically closing to initiate the splice process, and opening upon splice completion. A new auto-start “clamshell design” tube heater applies heat to both sides of the splice protection sleeve resulting in a 18-second shrink time for 4-fiber ribbon. The result is a total splice process time of approximately 29 seconds! Ruggedness and durability are greatly enhance by a mirror-less optical system and “severe-impact resistant” monitor. Battery capacity is now 140 splices/shrinks. An innovative transit case doubles as a built-in or mobile workstation and makes splicing easier than ever before. In an industry first, the 19R+ is also equipped with Bluetooth® technology. This allows the splicer to actively communicate with Bluetooth enabled fiber preparation accessories making maintenance of fiber preparation tools easier than ever!

FEATURED PRODUCT
AFL SPLICECONNECT UNIVERSAL MECHANICAL SPLICE TOOL KIT
AFL Telecommunications’ SpliceConnect is a mechanical splice that provides an inexpensive, quick alternative to mating fibers. Using V-groove technology, this splice maintains physical contact between the fibers. An assembly tool is used to ensure the fibers are mated correctly, resulting in <0.1dB insertion loss (typical for single-mode). The SpliceConnect secures both fiber and coating independently with the U-shaped sleeve, enhancing the strength against fiber twist.
