Fujikura Continues to Target FTTH Market with New Universal Mechanical Splicer
Usability and efficiency key to new product design
6th August, 2007 - Fujikura Europe Ltd today announced the launch of its newly upgraded Universal Mechanical Splice (UMS) system, the latest addition to its portfolio of products aimed at the exploding European FTTH market.
The Fujikura UMS system is capable of splicing all standard telecom fibre from 250µm to 900µm with a unique single-handed action. The light-weight, handheld wedge tool device, measuring just 142mm x 57mm x 22mm, allows engineers to perform essential fibre connections quickly and easily. The UMS system also offers a cost-efficient alternative to the use of pre-connectorized cables for FTTH installations.
"This newly designed mechanical splicer offers outstanding usability for field engineers," said Brian Leonard, product manager at Fujikura Europe. "The product is exceptionally simple to use, requiring minimal training to produce reliable splices.
"With the Fujikura UMS system, operators all over Europe looking at rapid deployments of FTTH services have a product that is low cost and extremely efficient; engineers in the field will be able to splice quickly and accurately, facilitating rapid deployments and helping to ensure minimal downtime in the event of loss of service."
The Fujikura UMS system has been tested in accordance with the conditions and criteria referenced in 'Telcordia GR-765-CORE Generic Requirements for Single Fiber Single-Mode Optical Splices and Splicing Systems', demonstrating maximum insertion loss of 0.5dB and an average return loss of 40dB.
Fujikura's complete portfolio of FTTH products will be on display at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2007, taking place 17-19 September at the Internationales Congress Centrum, Berlin.
Demonstrations will take place on the company's stand (#12015), and Fujikura products will be on show at the Opternus stand, (#12018), at the Light Brigade display, and the CTTS fusion splicing training area.
