 Applications
• For OptiSplice™ Premier M90i Fusion Splicer and X77 14K Series Fusion Splicers
• Stand-alone units are also available
Description
The new Fast Heat-Shrink Oven enables heat-shrink times of less than 20 seconds. The innovative design utilizes radiant heating technology to rapidly shrink heat-shrink splice protectors. Heat radiation is emitted from a heating element onto an elliptical mirror. The fiber with heat-shrink installed is then placed in the focal point of the mirror. The result is a faster, more energy efficient process. The Fast Heat-Shrink Oven uses approximately 50 percent of the power of a conventional heat-shrink oven, increasing fusion splicer battery life.
Heat-Shrink Process Overview
The first step when splicing optical glass fibers is to expose the cladding of the fiber by removing the coating. The bare fiber is then prepared by a cleaver and then spliced in a fusion splicer. After splicing, this unprotected area must once again be protected against environmental influences and mechanical damage.
The most common method for protecting the splice is with a heat-shrink. Crimp-style protection methods are also available. Heat-shrink splice protectors are comprised of an inner EVA tube, a reinforcement element and an outer polyolefin heat-shrink splice tube. The heat-shrink splice protector is slipped over the splice area and is shrunk over the splice by a heat-shrink oven. The glass fiber is hermetically sealed and protected
against environmental influences and mechanical damage.
Features / Benefits
• Shrink time 20 seconds or less for standard 60 mm heat-shrinks
• Uses approximately 50 percent of the energy of standard heat-shrink ovens, increasing splicer battery life
• For installation of common single fiber and up to 12-fiber ribbon heat-shrink splice protectors
• Fully automated software control from OptiSplice™
• Manual control available for stand-alone operation for use with any fusion splicer (16 independent temperature and time control settings)
• LED status display indicates heating, cooling, and time for removal
• Capable of total splice cycle times of less than 45 seconds when used in conjunction with the OptiSplice Premier
