Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of these fiber holders?
These holders secure 3mm jacketed fiber within a fusion splicer to ensure accurate fiber alignment during the splicing process.
Are these compatible with all fusion splicers?
These are specifically designed for the AFL FuseConnect system; verify your specific splicer model documentation for compatibility.
Can these be used for 2mm cables?
No, this model (FH-FC-3000) is specific to 3mm jacketed cables. A different holder model is required for 2mm fibers.
How do these improve splicing results?
They provide stable and consistent fiber placement, which reduces the potential for misalignment and results in lower insertion loss.
Are these durable enough for outdoor use?
Yes, they are constructed for professional field use and can withstand the rigors of standard installation environments.
