Sumitomo Type-72C HD Fusion Splicer
The Sumitomo Type-72C HD Core Aligning Fusion Splicer with FC-6RS Fiber Cleaver is designed for precise field splicing. The HD core aligning system supports accurate fiber positioning and low loss fusion. The FC-6RS cleaver provides consistent end face preparation. Together they are suitable for FTTx, metro, backbone, data center and campus networks where splice quality and productivity are important.
HD Core Alignment
HD core alignment improves the ability to observe and position fiber cores. This is valuable for single mode fiber and bend insensitive fiber, where small alignment errors can increase loss. The Type-72C HD uses alignment algorithms and arc control to support repeatable splices. It also provides splice loss estimates, helping technicians verify quality after each arc.
FC-6RS Fiber Cleaver
The FC-6RS cleaver is a field proven tool for single fiber preparation. It produces consistent cleave angles and flat end faces. Good cleave quality is essential for stable arc fusion and low loss. The cleaver is designed for durable field use and simple operation. When used with the Type-72C HD, it supports a complete preparation and splicing workflow.
Arc Stability
Automatic arc calibration helps the Type-72C HD adapt to temperature, humidity, altitude and electrode wear. This reduces splice variation between sites. Stable arc energy helps prevent bubbles, weak joints and high loss. Technicians can select splice modes based on fiber type and application. The splicer also stores splice data for quality control.
Field Productivity
The Type-72C HD supports fast splice and heat cycles. This helps teams complete more work in cabinets, closures and data centers. The user interface provides clear access to splice modes, heat modes and maintenance functions. Battery operation and a protective carry case support mobile field work. The rugged body helps protect sensitive optics during transport.
Applications
Typical applications include FTTx, metro rings, long haul backbone, data center interconnects, campus networks and utility fiber. The splicer is suitable for new construction, maintenance and emergency restoration. It supports standard single mode fiber, bend insensitive fiber and multimode fiber depending on configuration.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning of V grooves, clamps and objective lenses is important. Electrodes should be replaced when arc performance declines. The FC-6RS cleaver should be cleaned and its blade maintained. The splicer should be stored in a dry, dust controlled place. These steps help maintain alignment accuracy and arc stability.
Conclusion
The Sumitomo Type-72C HD Core Aligning Fusion Splicer with FC-6RS Fiber Cleaver is a high precision field solution. It combines HD core alignment, reliable cleaving and stable arc performance. For demanding fiber networks, it provides a strong balance of quality and efficiency.
