Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
The ELCT2-20A spare electrodes are designed for use with a variety of Fujikura fusion splicers. These replacement components are essential for maintaining the arc discharge consistency required for high-quality, low-loss optical fiber splices.
Regular replacement of electrodes is critical for the continued performance of fusion splicing equipment. Over time, electrode tips erode due to arc discharges, which can result in unstable arcs and inconsistent splice quality. These genuine replacement electrodes help ensure the splicer maintains optimal arc conditions within the specified environmental operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I replace my fusion splicer electrodes?
Electrodes should be replaced according to the manufacturer's maintenance cycle, typically after a specific number of arc discharges, or when the splicer software provides a notification that the arc calibration has become unstable.
Are these electrodes genuine AFL parts?
Yes, these are original equipment replacement electrodes for the specified Fujikura splicer models.
Do I need to perform an arc calibration after installing new electrodes?
Yes, an arc calibration test is mandatory after every installation of new electrodes to ensure correct arc power and splice performance.
Can I use these for other Fujikura models not listed?
No, these electrodes are specifically designed for the FSM-18, FSM-60, 70S, 70R, 19S, and 19R series. Please consult your splicer's manual for the correct electrode part number.
What is included in the package?
