AFL FH-70-12-200 12F Ribbon Holders, 200-Micron Spacing

Overview

The AFL FH-70-12-200 12-Fiber Ribbon Holders are precision-engineered accessories designed for use with fusion splicing systems, specifically optimized for ribbons with a 200 to 210µm pitch. These holders are essential for ensuring consistent fiber alignment and handling when preparing ribbons for the fusion splicing process.

Engineered for high-density environments, these holders facilitate the accurate placement of ribbonized fibers into the splicer. Each set includes left and right color-coded holders, labeled with "L" and "R" identifiers, to simplify the loading process and ensure correct fiber orientation during field operations.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use of these ribbon holders?
These holders are used to secure and align 12-fiber ribbons with 200-micron spacing for insertion into a compatible fusion splicer.

Are these holders compatible with standard ribbon fibers?
No, these are specifically designed for 200-micron pitch ribbon fibers. Standard 250-micron ribbons require different holder models.

Why are there L and R markings on the holders?
The L (left) and R (right) markings correspond to the specific orientation required by the ribbonizing tool and the fusion splicer to ensure proper fiber alignment.

Is the ribbonizing tool included?
No, the ribbonizing tool (RT-02) is sold separately.

Is this accessory compatible with my fusion splicer?
This model is designed for use with the AFL 90R fusion splicer series.
