Sumitomo FHM-12 Ribbon Fiber Holders, 12F 250um

Overview

The Sumitomo FHM-12 Ribbon Fiber Holders are precision-engineered components designed to facilitate accurate fiber alignment and secure handling during the fusion splicing process. These holders are specifically configured for 12-fiber ribbons with a 250-micron pitch, ensuring stability and consistent results during high-density fiber deployments.

Engineered for industrial environments, these holders feature magnetic covers that securely lock the ribbon in place. This mechanism effectively prevents fiber slippage during the loading and splicing procedures, minimizing the risk of errors in critical network infrastructure tasks.

Key Features

• Magnetic Security Covers
  Features integrated magnetic latches to hold the ribbon firmly, preventing accidental movement or fiber slippage.
• Precision 12F Alignment
  Engineered specifically for 12-fiber ribbon arrays to ensure exact fiber positioning and minimal splice loss.
• 250um Pitch Compatibility
  Optimized for standard 250-micron coated ribbon fiber, ensuring a secure fit without damaging the fiber coating.
• Wide Splicer Compatibility
  Compatible with a broad range of Sumitomo fusion splicers, including TYPE-72M12, TYPE-82M12, TYPE-Q-102M12, and Quantum-Ultra series.
• Support for Prep Tools
  Designed for seamless integration with Sumitomo fiber cleavers and thermal strippers for consistent end-to-end processing.
• Durable Construction
  Built to withstand the rigors of field splicing and regular use in demanding data center or outside plant environments.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these holders sold as a single unit or a pair?
The product includes 1 pair of fiber holders.

What is the primary function of the magnetic cover?
The magnetic cover secures the fiber ribbon and prevents fiber slippage during the preparation and splicing stages.

Is this compatible with 200-micron ribbon fiber?
No, this model (FHM-12) is designed for 250-micron fiber. For 200-micron fiber, the FHM-12N is required.

Can these be used with non-Sumitomo splicers?
These holders are specifically designed for Sumitomo fusion splicing systems and are not guaranteed to work with other manufacturer equipment.

What tools are compatible with these holders?
They are compatible with the Sumitomo FC-6R+, FC-8R cleavers, and the JR-7 thermal stripper.
