Fusion Splicers
90S+ Core Alignment Fusion Splicer
The 90S+ is a single fibre core alignment fusion splicer setting a new standard in the market for fusion splicing. The 90S+ is packed with a whole host of new and enhanced features specifically developed with the objective of enabling the user to work faster with higher precision.
Overall splice process time has been significantly reduced against our previous model (70S+). This has been achieved with a combination of improvements to the reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater, new fibre retention clamps, improved universal sheath clamps and a redesigned internal structure that matches the protection sleeve to the fusion splice point which enables splicing to be achieved without the need of the user to touch the 90S+ once the process has started.

45S is a small cladding alignment V-groove splicer with substantial performance
With its ground-breaking simultaneous fibre preparation features, improved operation, and exceptional reliability, the 45S raises the bar for FTTx splicers. From fibre preparation through to completion of heating, the 45S simplifies and speeds-up the complete splice process compared to our previous model, without compromising on the quality of splice.
The 45S’s accelerated performance is achieved through faster preparation and heating times. Simultaneous fibre preparation streamlines the splicing process and an improved heater ensures the rapid heating performance.
Stable and consistent low loss splicing is achieved thanks to Active Fusion Control Technology and Active Blade Management Technology, which reduce the need for rework and re-splicing.
Control of the 45S is through an adjustable colour touchscreen which ensures easy operation and visibility in all environments. Convenience is further bolstered by the improved V-groove illumination and the benefit of easy splice protector positioning. The machine reassures users of reliable splice results using CORE loss estimation using Warm Image Splicing Technology.
Features:
Simultaneous fibre preparation
Simultaneous fibre preparation streamlines the splicing process. The SS05 fibre stripper allows dual stripping of two 250μm fibres and the CT50 cleaver included in the kit has a new dual fibre adaptor plate which enables simultaneous cleaving of two fibres.
The 45S also makes it possible to load two fibres into the splicer at the same time. When left and right fibres are set in base of the sheath clamp, a setting mechanism responds to pressure from the operator’s fingers and causes the sheath clamp lids to close automatically – eliminating the need to close the clamps manually with a free hand. Once splicing is complete, the sheath clamps open with the wind protector.
Active Fusion Control Technology
Active fusion control by cleave condition: One of main causes of high splice loss is a bad cleave end face quality. The 45S analyses the condition of both left and right cleave end faces and applies optimal fusion control. This new technology improves splice loss significantly and greatly reduces needs for rework.
Active Fusion control by fibre brightness: Fusion is easily affected by changes in the environment. The 45S uses real-time fusion parameter control by analysing the fibre brightness intensity during splicing. This contributes to stable, low-loss splice results.
Active Blade Management Technology
The 45S and CT50 fibre-cleaver are equipped with wireless data connectivity. This capability allows automatic cleaver blade rotation when the 45S judges the blade is worn. The 45S displays the remaining blade life and informs the user when a blade height change, blade position change, or new blade is required.
When the frequency of large cleave angle or other cleave problems increases, Active Blade Management Technology can detect this increasing ratio of poor cleaves and rotate the blade position automatically. Active Blade Management Technology therefore significantly reduces the frequency of poor quality cleaves. Even when a poor cleave is detected, the 45S compensates by using Active Fusion Control Technology to apply optimized fusion to reduce the incidence of high splice loss. By using these two key technologies together, the 45S minimizes the occurrence of high splice loss and greatly reduces the need for rework and re-splicing.
New tube heater
This 45S’s heater also contributes to its accelerated performance. The average heating time for a 60mm sleeve is 22 seconds, a figure which drops to 17 seconds for a slim 60mm sleeve (both times depend on environmental conditions). The end result for the user is clear – completion of splicing operations with unmatched efficiency.
Increased Z-stroke range
Thanks to an increased Z-stroke range, the 45S automatically corrects the position of the fibre if it is slightly misplaced, which simplifies fibre loading while eliminating potential errors and contributing to low loss results.
Long lasting battery
With uninterrupted operation for up to 230 splice and heat cycles.

90R12 Mass Fusion Splicer
The 90R12 is a mass fusion splicer capable of splicing up to 12 fiber ribbon cables simultaneously
In previous mass fusion splicer models, the v-grooves could become dirty over time due to debris and glass deposits from splicing accumulating in the v-grooves. Which in turn, could lead to fibre offsets and high losses if they were not regularly cleaned which added to the overall process time.
The 90R12 comes with a first of its kind, innovative user replaceable V-groove assembly which makes this issue a thing of the past and is supplied as standard equipment with the 90R12 kit. This new V-groove assembly can be quickly and easily fitted in the field, minimizing downtime and maximising productivity.
In addition, the new V-groove design enables splicing of both conventional type 12-fiber encapsulated ribbon and SWR (Spider Web Ribbon) whilst also accommodating 250um and 200um pitch fibers. The 90R12 can also splice single fibers if required.
Overall working time has been significantly reduced against the previous model (70R+). This has been achieved through a combination of improvements; including the replaceable v-grooves, reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater, a 5-inch LCD touch screen whilst also making use of Active Blade Management Technology, which now can connect to two CT50 cleavers simultaneously.
Features:
- Class-leading, highly reliable, 12-fiber ribbon splicing technology.

Fusion Splicer Accessories
CT16 Cleaver
The CT-16 fiber cleaver from Fujikura was designed for FTTH or other space constrained applications where ergonomics and durability are key. It is compact, can be operated ambidextrously, and features a unique fiber adapter, allowing users to cleave two bare fibers simultaneously when paired with the dual fiber stripper, the SS-05. The scrap collector and fiber adapter side can be swapped by the user for left or right-handed preference, or as environmental constraints dictate. Furthermore, the thumbwheel on the bottom of the cleaver is utilized for blade rotations as opposed to previous tedious processes to rotate a cleaver blade. The top lever opens past vertical allowing for easy viewing, cleaning, and adjustment of the cleave length. The blade is retracted when the top lever is opened and the blade activates to score the fiber when it is closed, making this a true one-step cleaver. Like its predecessor, this cleaver can withstand a 30” drop from any of six different orientations and still maintain factory specified cleave angle performance. The cleaver blade and fiber clamping mechanisms are easy to replace in the field, mitigating the need to send this cleaver in for service.
Features:
- Dual fiber adapter plate for single or two fiber cleaving
- Ambidextrous operation available
- Field replaceable fiber clamp pads and cleaver blade
- Shock resistant for drops up to 30″ in any of six different orientations
- Compact form factor and tool-less blade rotations
CT50 Cleaver
The CT50 provides enhanced drop and impact resistance and allows customers like never before to replace the actual cleaving blade and resin members that hold the optical fibres, dramatically reducing handling time and maintenance costs. With the ability to cleave single fibres and bundles of up to 12 fibres, the CT50 is Bluetooth enabled, smart phone ready, and can be easily integrated into existing splicing processes for customers looking to invest in a future-proof cleaving solution.
Features:
- Highly robust
- Automatic blade rotation via wireless communication
- User replaceable blade and fibre clamps
- One-action operation – including fibre scrap collection
- Easy fibre positioning
- Tool-less blade rotation
FID-30R/ 31R Fibre Identifier
The FID-30R includes an optical power meter and succeeds the FID-25R while the FID-31R, the updated standard model, replaces the FID-26R. The fibre identifiers, used for identifying the light power presence in optical fibres, include three detecting functions: TONE, TRAFFIC, and ONU.
Both models include a trigger operated clamp to macro-bend the fibre in order to leak light which is then detected by two photo sensors. The fibre identifiers can detect the presence of several kinds of light signal and indicate signal directions.
The trigger lock function ensures the fibre is clamped with constant pressure, while the 2.4″ colour LCD touch panel, equipped with a backlight function, allows the user to view the estimated optical power in the fibre and select the desired wavelength of 1310nm, 1490nm, or 1550nm. Identification of modulated tones at 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz is provided, along with continuous wave and ONU signals. Users are also able to select from three detection sensitivity modes; normal, fast and fine.
Other features of the battery operated FID30R/FID31R include robust body design, easy-to-use fibre clamp, status indicator and adjustable settings for result retaining, buzzer volume, backlight brightness, auto dimming and auto power off.
The fibre identifiers can be used for UV-coated fibre, 0.9mm diameter tight buffered fibre, fibre cord up to 3mm in diameter, and fibre ribbon with up to 12 fibres.
Features:
- Robust body design for the field
- Universal fiber clamp design applicable for many types of fibers
- 2.4″ full color LCD touch screen with the backlight
- Trigger lock function for continuous fiber clamping
- Adjustable setting
