Frequently Asked Questions

Are these holders compatible with all fusion splicers?
These holders are designed specifically for use with the AFL 90R fusion splicer.

What is the purpose of the 200-micron spacing?
The 200-micron pitch is used for modern high-density ribbon cables to maintain alignment accuracy in compact cable designs.

Can these be used with a ribbonizing tool?
Yes, they are compatible with the RT-02 Ribbonizing Tool.

How do I identify the correct holder for each side?
The holders are labeled with "L" and "R" to designate the left and right fiber positions.

Are there additional accessories required?
For optimal performance, the use of a 16-fiber V-groove (such as the S018612 VG16-01-200) is recommended.
