FUSION SPLICER 90S Rev5

Newly designed sheath clamp
Easy sleeve positioning
The sheath clamp is optimized for the 60mm length sleeve. When using a
60mm sleeve, it is easy to position the center of the protection sleeve over the
splice point.
e.g. in case setting
protection
sleeve on the right
(1)

(2)
Slide the protection sleeve until it touches your left hand, while holding
tension on the splice.
(3)
Slide left hand away from the protection sleeve
(4)
Slide left hand away from the protection sleeve.
Fiber Retention Clamp
The sheath clamp features a secondary clamp, “Fiber Retention Clamp”, which
retains the fiber after the sheath clamp is opened. This mechanism prevents the
fiber from flying out after the sheath clamps open. When the fiber is lifted by hand,
the Fiber Retention Clamp opens and releases the fiber automatically. There is
a switch to control this retention system on top of the sheath clamp.
