Database of splice mode (FAST)
Splice Mode
Description
SM FAST
For splicing standard Single-mode fiber (ITU-T G652).
The MFD is 9 to 10 um at wavelength of 1310 nm.
Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode.
Execute [Arc Calibration] before splicing.
MM FAST
For splicing Multi-mode fiber (ITU-T G651).
Core diameter : 50.0 to 62.5 um
Automatic arc calibration does not work in this mode.
Execute [Arc Calibration] before splicing.
NZ FAST
For splicing Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G655).
The MFD is 8 to 10 um at wavelength of 1550 nm.
Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode.
Execute [Arc Calibration] before splicing.
DS FAST
For splicing Dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G653).
The MFD is 7 to 9 um at wavelength near 1550 nm.
Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode.
Execute [Arc Calibration] before splicing.

Splice Mode
Description
AT1
(SM)(DS)
[AT1] creates an intentional core axial offset and splices fibers. [AT1]
mode provides an estimated splice loss, but this should be regarded as
a reference as the estimated splice loss may not be correct in some
cases, depending on fiber properties. A power meter is recommended
for correct splice loss measurements.
AT2
(SM)(DS)(MM)
This mode allows the users to set a starting core offset value and a
finishing core offset value. Set [Start Offset] manually and then splicing
starts. Re-arcing is performed continuously / automatically until the axial
offset reaches [Stop Offset] value. A splice loss estimate is not
performed.
