Furukawa America Introduces Fitel(R) Single-Action Fiber Cleaver; Single-Action Cleaving for Hand-Held and Bench-Top Use
Posted on: Tuesday, 20 September 2005, 09:00 CDT
Furukawa America Inc. introduced today a single-action fiber cleaver ergonomically designed for hand-held and bench-top operation.
The FITEL(R) S325A unit successfully combines all four steps of a proper fiber cleave into a one-step button press that engages all four actions: applying tension to the fiber, scoring the fiber, precisely breaking the fiber, and disposing of waste fiber. The resulting increase in speed and ease of use makes the S325A optimal for challenging field installations such as Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTh/FTTx) and LAN installations.
Developed by The Furukawa Electric Co., the FITEL S325A features a wide lid-top for easy fiber loading and an integrated high-capacity waste fiber chamber. The unit can precisely cleave single fiber with its single fiber adapter or cleave up to 12-fiber ribbon utilizing fiber holders.
"A clean, high-quality fiber cleave is essential to the integrity of any fiber optic transmission system," said Jason Greene, manager of fusion splicer products for Furukawa America. "Installers need a fast, compact tool that can achieve a stable and precise cleave in any installation environment. Furukawa Electric designed the S325A to meet this need."
Furukawa America Inc. (FAI) (www.FurukawaAmerica.com) supplies FITEL fiber optic products to the telecommunications, data, and cable TV industries throughout the Americas. FITEL's fusion splicer products include a full range of hand-held, core alignment and mass fusion splicers plus related splicing tools and accessories. FAI also supplies FITEL 980nm and 1480nm pump lasers, signal lasers, active and passive optical components and connectors. In addition, the company serves the computer and electronics market with its Furukawa-brand heat pipes, heat sinks, reflow ovens, UV tape, memory disks and metal alloy products.
FAI's parent company, The Furukawa Electric Co. Ltd.
