- Custom attenuators: programmable splice loss (up to 10 dB)
- Best for splicing old, dissimilar or specialty fibers
Description
The Corning Cable Systems Model M90 Fusion Splicer remains the ideal machine
for long-haul telephone and CATV single-mode fiber splicing where accuracy is
imperative. The LID-SYSTEM® Unit (Local Injection and Detection System) monitors
light injected into the core of the fibers and provides the lowest splice loss
possible with the most accurate loss readings in the industry. The recent
addition of patented maintenance-free electrodes provides even more value by
eliminating the time spent cleaning and replacing electrodes.
The accuracy of the LID-SYSTEM Unit and its power through splice loss
measurement method eliminate the time consuming task of evaluating splices with
an OTDR. The 1300 nm LID-SYSTEM Unit first optimizes core alignment in each of
the X, Y, and Z axes. When the fusion process begins, the M90’s unique Auto
Fusion Time Control monitors the power level through the splice and completes
the fusing process when splice loss is a minimum – ensuring the best splice
possible. Finally, the LID-SYSTEM Unit measures splice loss by comparing power
levels before and after the fusion process. Over 1,000 splice loss results may
be stored in memory and then printed directly from the M90 or downloaded to a PC
for network management records. A newly added PCMCIA slot allows for extended
memory and future upgrades.
The unit also precisely evaluates the cleaved fiber ends – a basic
prerequisite for good splices. By clamping on fiber coating, high-strength
splices can be made. Messages and splice loss results are shown on the M90’s
high-contrast, large 5.5-in color LCD. Fixed lenses magnify the X and Y views of
the fibers 100 times and project the images simultaneously on the screen or to
an external monitor.
The M90’s new Series 6000 software stores 50 programs with user-defined
splicing parameters for different types of fibers. It also has 13 fixed programs
for standard and specialty single-mode fibers and multimode fiber, and an
automatic fiber type detection feature that will inform you if you are
attempting to use the wrong program for your fiber type. Splice losses up to
10.0 dB can be programmed for an in-line attenuator with the characteristic
non-reflectance of a fusion splice. With the new software upgrade tool, a
customer’s M90 can be upgraded with the latest software via a printer cable and
PC connected to an e-mail system.
In the fully automatic mode, the lighter and smaller M90 Series 6000 provides
a typical average splice loss better than 0.02 dB for both singlemode fibers and
multimode fibers.
