Development of a Mass Fusion Splicing System for up to 24-Fiber Ribbon

摘要

A mass fusion splicer has been developed for splicing all fiber counts up to 24-fiber ribbon and including single fibers. Accessories, including a cleaver, hot jacket stripper, and fiber protection sleeve, have also been developed for splicing and protecting 24-fiber ribbons. The splicer is designed to be small and light weight, and is capable of repeatable and reliable performance in harsh field conditions, including aerial or underground environments.
