Sumitomo Type-35SE Fiber Fusion Splicer Kit

The Sumitomo Type-35SE Fiber Optic Fusion Splicer Splicing Kit with JR-11, JR-5 and JR-22 accessories is a field splicing set for optical fiber networks. The Type-35SE splicer is designed to join single fibers using a controlled electric arc. The kit includes tools and accessories that support preparation, splicing and protection. It is used in FTTx, metro, access and campus networks for installation and maintenance.

ARC Fusion Splicing

Fusion splicing uses an electric arc to melt and join two fiber ends. The Type-35SE controls arc energy and fiber alignment to produce a low loss joint. The splicer provides a guided process for loading fibers, closing the cover, running the arc and checking the result. Automatic functions help reduce manual adjustment and support repeatable splices in field conditions.

Splicing Kit Accessories

The JR-11, JR-5 and JR-22 references identify accessories used with the splicing set. These may include fiber holders, cleaving tools, cleaning supplies and carrying components. A complete kit helps technicians perform preparation, splicing and protection without missing essential items. The kit format is useful for teams that move between sites and need a consistent setup.

Field Operation

The Type-35SE is designed for portable use. Its body and carry case support transport between cabinets, poles, buildings and temporary sites. Battery operation allows splicing where mains power is not available. The display and menu system provide access to splice modes, heat modes and calibration. The rugged housing helps protect the unit during normal field use.

Applications

Typical applications include FTTH drops, distribution fibers, patch panels, pigtails, small closures and restoration work. The splicer is also suitable for campus networks, building backbones and metro extensions. It supports standard single mode fiber and related network tasks when correct splice programs are selected.

Quality Control

The splicer provides splice loss estimates after each arc. This gives technicians immediate feedback and helps identify problems such as dirty fibers, poor cleaves or incorrect arc settings. Stored splice records can be reviewed for quality control. This is useful for contractors and network owners who need documentation of splice performance.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of V grooves, clamps and objective lenses is important. Electrodes should be replaced when arc performance declines. Cleaving tools should be cleaned and their blades maintained. The battery should be charged and stored according to guidance. The splicer should be kept in a dry, dust controlled environment.

Conclusion

The Sumitomo Type-35SE Fiber Optic Fusion Splicer Splicing Kit with JR-11, JR-5 and JR-22 accessories is a practical field splicing set. It combines arc splicing control, reliable fiber preparation and portable operation. For FTTx, access and maintenance work, it provides a dependable solution for daily splicing tasks.
