Types of spliced fibers
|
Single quartz optical fibers
- single-mode (SM, ITU-T G.652)
- multimode (MM, ITU-T G.651)
- with shifted dispersion area (DS, ITU-T G.653)
- with shifted non-zero dispersion (NZDS, ITU-TG.655)
|
Diameter of spliced fiber
|
80 to 150 µm
|
Diameter of coating at spliced fiber
|
100 to 1000 µm
|
Real average loss at spliced joint
|
- 0.02 dB for SM
- 0.01 dB for MM
- 0.04 dB for DS
- 0.04 dB for NZDS
|
Typical splicing time
|
9 seconds for SM fiber
|
Reflection factor (from splice joint)
|
No more than 60 dB
|
Splicing programs
|
40 user-configured splicing programs and 60 factory-set splicing modes
|
Assessment of splicing loss
|
By core/sheath (assessment of core aligning and angular displacement)
|
Insertion loss function at splice area
|
Deliberate insertion loss, so as to set a fixed attenuator in the line: 0.1 dB to 15 dB, with 0.1 dB step
|
Saving of splicing parameters and results
|
Internal memory can store up to 2000 splicing results
|
Length of strapped fibers
|
- 8 to 16 mm – for no more than 250 µm external coating
- 16 mm – for 250 to 1000 µm external coating
- 8 to 16 mm – for250 to 1000 µm external coating (at presence of additional restrictive plate)
|
View of splice area
|
X and Y axes (simultaneously or individually) – by two CMOS cameras, at 5.6-inch color LCD
|
Magnified view of splice area
|
- 295-fold for individual viewing
- 147-fold for simultaneous viewing by X and Y axes
|
Testing of the splice point for mechanical strength
|
Tensile force – 200 g; additional test – 440 g
|
Operating conditions
|
- 0 to 5000 m above sea level
- relative air humidity – 0 to 95%
- temperature – -10 to +50 °C
|
Number of heat-shrink splices, when powered by battery
|
- About 80 splices at fully charged battery BTR-06 (S)
- About 160 splices at fully charged battery BTR-06 (L)
|
Power supply
|
Automatic selection between 100-240V AC or 10-15V DC (when using ADC-11) and from 13.5V battery BTR 06 (S/L)
|
Wind protection
|
Maximum allowed wind speed – 15 m/s
|
Dimensions
|
150x150x150 mm (width, length, height)
|
Weight
|
2.3 kg (2.8 kg with ADC-11)
