Overview
The AFL S017117 FH-70-8 Ribbon Fiber Holders are specialized accessories designed to facilitate precision ribbon splicing. This pair of holders is specifically engineered for use with the 90R series ribbon fusion splicer, ensuring consistent fiber alignment and securing for multi-fiber arrays.
Constructed with a heat-hardening plastic base plate and a durable iron-nickel lid, these holders provide a stable and reliable platform for fiber handling. They feature an integrated magnetic clamping system, which ensures the 8-fiber ribbon remains properly positioned throughout the fusion splicing process, reducing the risk of fiber movement and misalignment during cycles.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these holders compatible with older fusion splicer models?
These holders are designed specifically for the 90R ribbon fusion splicer. Compatibility with legacy models should be verified against the specific splicer manual.
What does the kit include?
The package includes one pair (left and right) of FH-70-8 ribbon fiber holders.
Why are the lids made of iron-nickel?
The iron-nickel material is used to work in conjunction with the magnetic clamping system, providing durable and secure closure during the splicing process.
Can I use these for single-fiber splicing?
No, these are designed specifically for 8-fiber ribbon arrangements to ensure proper pitch and spacing.
What is the primary maintenance required?
Keep the holder surfaces and magnetic contact points clean from dust, debris, and fiber coatings to ensure the clamping mechanism functions correctly.
