1. Splice Mode

The optimum splice setting for a specific fiber combination consists of the below listed
splicing parameters. In other words, the optimum splicing parameters depend on the fiber
combinations, and are different from fiber to fiber.
Parameters for controlling arc discharge / heating.
•
Parameters for calculating estimated splice loss.
•
Parameters for controlling fiber alignment and splicing procedures.
•
Threshold for error messages.
•
A series of optimum splice parameters for major fiber combinations are already stored in
the splicer. These parameters are stored in the database area and can be copied to the
user-programmable area. These splice parameters can be edited for a specific fiber
combination.
How to select the "Splice Mode"
• For those who prefer stable splice loss (rather to quick splicing with high
yield). Use the "AUTO" mode.
• For those who are not sure of the optical fiber type to be spliced. Use the
"AUTO" mode.
• For those who would like to shorten splicing time with AUTO modes. If
the type of optical fiber has already been identified, use "SM AUTO",
"MM AUTO" or "NZ AUTO" depending on the fiber type. These
exclusive AUTO modes skip a process for fiber type identification, so the
total splicing processes take less time.
• For those who prefer quick splice of SMF with high yield to consistent
splice loss. Use "SM FAST" Mode
• For those who splice non-conventional fibers, select the best suit splicing
mode in "Other Mode". "AUTO" splice modes do not cover
non-conventional fiber splicing.
• For those who prefer the lowest possible splice loss to any other
considerations. Use "Other Mode" and optimize splicing condition for
your specific fiber combination.
