Ericsson launches fusion splicer for large diameter fibers

Feb. 9, 2005
February 8, 2005 Stockholm, Sweden--Ericsson has launched a new fusion splicer for splicing large diameter optical fibers (LDF). Building on the existing FSU 15 platform, the new splicer, known as the FSU 15 LD, automatically splices fibers up to 600 micron in diameter regardless of the fiber shape.

February 8, 2005 Stockholm, Sweden--Ericsson has launched a new fusion splicer for splicing large diameter optical fibers (LDF). Building on the existing FSU 15 platform, the new splicer, known as the FSU 15 LD, automatically splices fibers up to 600 micron in diameter regardless of the fiber shape.

Based on Ericsson's FSU 15 FA high strength specialty fiber splicer, the new unit maintains identical features, including core alignment, rare earth doped fiber splicing, high speed cycle time, and Ericsson's patented W.S.I.P technology (Warm Splice Image Processing).  The Ericsson FSU 15 LD was designed specifically for double clad fiber splicing and fiber laser manufacturing in the government, military, aerospace, and medical fields. The company claims the FSU 15 LD makes fully automatic, large diameter splices at the touch of a button, regardless of whether the fiber is round, octagonal, D-shaped, hexagonal, star, etc.  The FSU 15 LD is also equipped with platforms for fiber holders to give the machine high strength splicing capabilities.
