Re: [AFMUG] fusion splicer recommendations?

[Eric Kuhnke]

If you ever have plans to do DWDM or splice long haul fiber you absolutely
need core alignment. V-groove fusion splicers are for last mile only and
for in-premises stuff (like 1310nm LX from basement to 20th floor of an
office building).

Core alignment is betterbut the difference isn't much.

If you have to splice into something older than a certain year (I can't 
remember the yearmaybe 2000-something?) then you have to have core 
alignment.  I was told the manufacturing process changed at some point 
and the cladding became consistent enough for cladding alignment to 
work, but before that point it was core alignment or nothing.


I don't know if this is true with core alignment, but with cladding 
alignment any tiny bit of debris can misalign the fibers.  Usually it's 
a little flake of the 250um acrylic stuck to the fiber or in the 
v-groove.  It's not a big deal, but it's a thing that might waste a 
minute or two.


There used to be a huge price difference, but if I was buying one today 
I'd probably go for core alignment too.

Fujikura has the strong brand name, but seems like people have success

Re: [AFMUG] fusion splicer recommendations?

OH wow its Gerard I thought chuck found some place you had to trench the 
fiber with a spoon. You seem to be as sporadic on these lists as me.


back to the subject at hand. I recently picked up a Trensbatter no thats 
not a typo at least on my part. Its a clone of a Fujikura 60s. I have 
used Fujikuras for some time so I am used to the interface. It is a 
pretty good knock off. Only thing is the splice holders are not made to 
be used in the cleaver then moved to the splicer. It was a little 
annoying at first. After I got used to just moving the fiber from 
cleaver to splicer I found I actually could get it where the bare fiber 
was much smaller. all in all for less than 2k it has been pretty good.

The "Orientek" unit is resold by about a dozen different brand names if you
look on eBay or Alibaba/aliexpress. I would be very interested in finding
out what factory it actually comes from in mainland China.
