The X77 Fusion Splicer is Corning Cable Systems’ best-selling unit. Like its
predecessor, the M90 fusion splicer, the X77 offers the core alignment accuracy
of Corning Cable Systems’ LID-SYSTEM® Unit and the speed of a Profile Alignment
System. With the increasing number of applications for splicing dissimilar and
specialty fibers, the LID-SYSTEM Unit is a necessity for low loss splices. The
X77 fusion splicer is the perfect combination of precision operation and ease of
use, both in a cost-effective machine. 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 eliminates the timeconsuming task of
evaluating splices with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) while
splicing. The X77 fusion splicer utilizes Automatic Fusion Time Control by
monitoring in real time the relative power level through the splice and ends
fusing when splice loss is at a minimum. With the addition of the X77’s pigtail
adapter, the craftsperson is able to apply the accuracy of the LID-SYSTEM Unit
when splicing pigtails.
The X77 fusion splicer offers programs for single-mode and multimode
splicing. While the standard parameters are preset at the factory in three fixed
programs and eight specialty, every individual parameter can be freely
programmed by the operator in the 10 user-defined programs. Up to 250 splice
loss values can be stored for downloading to a text file for system records.
Messages and splice loss results are shown on the X77’s 5.5-in high resolution
LCD display with contrast adjustment. A tilt stand on the attachment power
supply provides improved viewing and operation orientation.
