OptiSplice LID can splice all types of single-mode and multi-mode fibers, as well as specialty fibers, thanks to its titanium coating, LS, DS, and NZDS fibers, such as TrueWave™ and LEAF™. Therefore, it is ideal for telecommunications, CATV, long-haul applications, businesses of varying sizes, and FTTx networks where extremely low losses are required.
The fusion splicer is distinguished by having three fusion process control systems so that the user can choose the priority between speed or precision, depending on the requirements, and use the LID™ system to offer accuracy in the analysis of fiber ends and splice loss estimates.
With Automatic Fusion Time Control (AFC™), the light transmitted during splicing is analyzed, and the process ends when the optimal transmission point is reached. This method automatically compensates for varying fiber characteristics, electrode condition, and changes in environmental conditions (humidity, pressure, temperature, etc.) to minimize splice losses for each fusion.
When using the CDS™ system, this fusion splicer checks if AFC can be employed. If so, AFC optimizes each splice individually for improved transmission without time losses.
The L-PAS™ video image evaluation system is very helpful in obtaining rapid pre-alignment, evaluating cuts and detecting contamination (dirt and dust), and improving fiber positioning, as well as for estimating splice losses.
The features are completed with a 6.4-inch color TFT screen (VGA resolution) with simultaneous digital image of both fibers with x140 magnification; memory for 200 user programs; RS232 / V.24 serial port for downloading data and parameters; TV output port (PAL); USB port for connecting a work light (optional USB work light); three inputs for 2.3 Ah batteries with integrated charging circuit and capacity control; two 12 Vdc outputs for connecting additional accessories; and an external 100 W power supply.
