Product Description
Corning Cable Systems� completely redesigned M90 offers the solution for all precision single-fiber splicing applications. With its new features and a user-friendly design, it is adapted to the requirements for a modern work environment, while still retaining the core design that has made it known as the premier unit for precise, reliable, and robust field fusion splicing. The Model M90 Fusion Splicer is ideal for long-haul telephone and CATV single-mode fiber splicing where accuracy is imperative. The LID-SYSTEM� unit (Local Injection and Detection System) monitors light injected into the core of the fibers and provides the lowest splice loss possible with the most accurate loss readings in the industry. The accuracy of the LID-SYSTEM unit and its powerthrough splice loss estimation method eliminates the timeconsuming task of evaluating splices with an OTDR. The LID-SYSTEM unit first optimizes core alignment in each of the X, Y, and Z axes. When the fusion process begins, the M90抯 unique Auto Fusion Time Control monitors the power level through the splice and completes the fusing process when splice loss is a minimum � ensuring the best splice possible. The M90 software stores 50 programs with user-defined splicing parameters for different types of fibers. It also has thirteen fixed programs for standard, specialty single-mode fibers, and multimode fiber. Splice losses up to 10.0 dB can be programmed for an in-line attenuator with the characteristic nonreflectance of a fusion splice. A special program is also available for use with erbium-doped fiber.
