The Type-37 Micro-Core splicer features the smallest foot print size in the
world and is one of the lightest and fastest core alignment fusion splicers
available today. The splicer's 75-second reinforcement sleeve heater cycle time
is the lowest in the industry. A portable, fully-automatic, self-contained
instrument for creating low-loss optical fiber splices in both field and
factory environments, it is designed to work with virtually all fiber types
including single-mode, multimode, dispersion shifted, and other specialty
fiber.
The splicer automatically aligns a pair of optical fibers in both the X and Y
(horizontal and vertical) planes and then fuses them together with heat from an
electric arc to form a low-loss splice. HDCM (High-resolution Direct Core
Monitoring) image processing software in the splicer is used to perform core
alignment and estimates the splice loss. The operation requires less than 18
seconds, and the average splice loss is 0.02 decibels (dB) for identical
single-mode fibers.
