Utilizing the latest technology in fusion splicing systems we provide field splicing and emergency restoration services on damaged fiber optic cable installations. We also provide installation services for the new AFL FuseConnect™ fusion splice connector system. These relatively new connectors provide an excellent method for connectorization of Broadband Cable TV distribution systems or DAS systems utilizing fiber optics.
Splicing Methods
• Cladding Alignment (V-Groove) Technology: This method utilizes a fixed V-groove system that relies on the concentricity of the outside diameter of the fibers cladding to align the fibers along the X-axis and Y-axis. The splicer performs Z-axis alignment only, commonly called fixed V-groove.
• Core Alignment Technology: This splicing process utilizes various methods to align the fibers. It uses a system that allows precisely controlled motors to move the fibers along their X- (horizontal), Y- (vertical) and Z- (in and out) axes until they are aligned. This alignment system senses the fiber’s core by detecting the refraction of light created at the core-cladding interface. Images are taken in two orthogonal planes so that the core can be precisely located. The fusion splicer utilizes a V-groove to hold the fibers in place and moves the V-groove along both the X & Y axis until the cores are aligned in both views
• Single Fiber Splicing: Traditional single fiber splicing.
• Ribbon Fiber Splicing: Mass 12-Fiber Ribbon splicing. Instead of fusing a single fiber at a time, mass fusion splicing can fuse up 12 fibers in one ribbon at once. Cables made today with high fiber count involve sub-units of 12 fibers each that are ribbonized. Splicing of these fibers individually is time consuming; Mass fusion splicers splice entire ribbons simultaneously, which saves time on large projects.
At Fiber Optic Cabling Specialists, Inc., we work to provide the greatest service to all of our clients. With our professionalism and expertise, we are one of the leaders for fiber optic cabling, as well as fusion splicing in this area. We also provide services such as termination services, testing services, and emergency repair services.
Our goal is to make sure that all of our clients are extremely happy with our services, and this is why we provide the utmost of care when implementing any services. We keep the client in the loop, as much as possible, and work to explain and educate the client about what we are doing for them. We began in the area of Marlborough, but have expanded our service all the way to Boston, and a bit to the west.
