Fibre cleaved length 8mm to 16mm using Sheath Clamp A, B or C/ 10mm using FH-60-250, FH-60-900
Actual average splice loss 0.05dB with SM, 0.02dB with MM, 0.08dB with DS, 0.08dB with NZDS.
Measured by cut-back method relevant to ITU-T standards.
Splice time Typical 11sec. with standard SM fibre.
Return loss 60dB or greater
Splicing modes Total number available equals 100; for pre-set modes and user programmable modes
Splice loss estimate Several types of core deformations as well as core axis offset are taken into account for accurate loss
estimate.
Storage of splice result The last 2000 results to be stored in the internal memory.
Fibre display X/Y, or both X and Y simultaneously
Magnification 300x for single X or Y view, or 187x for X and Y view.
Viewing method By two CMOS cameras for fibre viewing and 4.1inches TFT colour LCD monitor
