Sumitomo TYPE-71c, Manual To Operation

Page: 68 / 94

4-4
*1: The splicer automatically recognizes optical fiber type loaded via image processing, verifies the selected
splice condition matches the fiber, and also displays the results if a mismatch is detected. This system
prevents an operator from splicing with the incorrect program.
*2: High core-cladding eccentricities have an effect on surface tension during arc, yielding high splice loss.
This method is used to intentionally offset the left and right fiber centers in order to minimize this effect.
*3: Please perform an arc test before splicing on all splice programs except Auto mode.
category Splice program Details
MM G651
MM G651 Std.
Can be used for splicing identical standard MMF (ITU-T G.651).
DS G653
DS G653 Std.
Can be used for splicing identical standard DSF (ITU-T G.653).
NZ G655
NZ G655 Typ.
Can be used for splicing identical standard NZDS (ITU-T G.655).
Other NZDSF
The splice programs of each manufacturer’s NZDS are listed.
BIF G657
PureAccess R5
Can be used for splicing PureAccess-R5 (Bend Insensitive fiber, ITU-T
G.657).
G657 adaptive
Can be used for splicing BIF (Bend Insensitive fiber, ITU-T G.657). This
mode helps to splice optical fiber with complicated core profile.
Other BIF
The splice programs of each manufacturer’s BIF are listed.
SPF
－
The splice programs of special fibers, such as EDF and photonic fiber,
which do not belong to other categories are listed.
