Splice Mode Description
SM
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.
NZ
For splicing Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G655).
The MFD is 9 to 10 um at wavelength of 1550 nm.
Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode.
DS
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.
MM1
For splicing Multi-mode fiber (ITU-T G651).
Core diameter : 50.0 to 62.5 um
This mode is programmed to splice all types of MM fibers. Failure
rate by a bubble is low even if the cleaver or electrode condition is not
good. But, the appearance of splice point looks little fat. And, the
splice loss is little worse (typical < 0.01dB increase). The AUTO
mode is using this splice condition when splicing the MM fibers.
When a bubble still occurs, use the MM-MM mode, and increase
[Prefuse Time] and [Prefuse Power].
Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode.
Note: This new mode is added from software version 01.07.
MM2
For splicing Multi-mode fiber (ITU-T G651).
Core diameter : 50.0 to 62.5 um
This mode is programmed to achieve the best splice loss. The
appearance of splice point doesn’t look fat. But, a bubble sometimes
occurs when the cleaver or electrode condition is not good.
Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode.
Note: This mode was called as MM before software version 01.07.
SM AUTO
For splicing standard Single-mode fiber (ITU-T G652).
The MFD is 9 to 10 um at wavelength of 1310 nm.
Automatic arc calibration works in this splice mode.
NZ AUTO
For splicing Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G655).
The MFD is 9 to 10 um at wavelength of 1550 nm.
Automatic arc calibration works in this splice mode.
DS AUTO
For splicing Dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G653).
The MFD is 7 to 9 um at wavelength of 1550 nm.
Automatic arc calibration works in this splice mode.
Other splice
modes
There are many types of splice modes in this splicer, other than the
ones stated above, stored in the splicer database. Select a “BLANK”
splice mode, and press

Nearly 60 splice modes
stored in the database are displayed. Select one splice mode to be
used.
