Furukawa electric FITEL S122 User manual

DESCRIPTION
FEATURES & APPLICATIONS
TECHNICAL INFORMATION - CONNECTOR
FITEL’s new connector termination system allows for unsurpassed
performance and flexibility in the field.
This new “splice-on” connector eliminates the need for field polishing
and significantly improves the quality of the termination and installa-
tion time required.
FITEL’s factory polished ferrules with pre-cleaved fiber stubs are spliced
onto the field fiber utilizing FITEL’s proprietary ferrule holder and
fusion splicer. Once spliced, the SC/APC or SC/UPC connector is easily
assembled by using a process that requires minimal skill or training.
TYPE
SC/Ultra PC; FC/Ultra PC SC/Angled PC; FC/Angled PC
Insertion Loss Typical 0.30dB
Reflectance < - 55dbB < -65dB
Fiber Type SMF
Jacket Type 900µm, 2mm, 3mm
Ferrule Type Zirconia ceramic ferrule with pre-polished fiber stub
• Simple, Fast, & Consistent Field Termination
Allows for easy field repair of pre-terminated splitters, fan outs, and drop terminals.
• No Polishing or Epoxy
FITEL’s connector termination process requires no polishing or epoxy increasing the quality and consis-
tency of field connector termination. Total installation time is greatly reduced compared to traditional
methods.
• Fiber Management
The most difficult task for splicer operators has always been managing the fiber upon completion of
splicing. The connector termination feature on the S122A and S177A eliminates the need for splice trays
resulting in easier fiber management, reduced storage requirements, and faster installation times.

Avoid soaking the S240A Slitter Snapper with water. Doing so may cause malfunction.
Do not drop, throw, and disassemble. Doing so may cause malfunction.
Ensure that cleaning the S240A Slitter Snapper and slit fiber cordage, before slitting. If not
doing so, it may occur that fiber breaking or irreguler slit, because of dust.
Do slit slowly. If ribbon fiber cannot be slit smoothly, interrupt slit and cleaning. If
smoothness is not recovered, it is possible that the S240A Slitter Snapper has
malfunctioned or fiber has deformed. Stop slitting till the cause is cleared. If slit is done with
continue, it may occur fiber breaking or add the damage to fiber.
The S240A Slitter Snapper is designed with special attention to prevent damage to the fiber.
But there are possibilities of damaging fiber, in condition of fiber, cleaning, and the S240A
