Overview
The Sumitomo Electric Lightwave FHM-12N Ribbon Fiber Holders are engineered for precise fiber alignment and handling during fusion splicing processes. This pair of holders is specifically designed to support 12-fiber ribbons with a 200-micron pitch, ensuring optimal fiber positioning for high-density splicing applications.
Equipped with magnetic covers, these holders securely clamp the ribbon in place to prevent fiber slippage during the loading and splicing cycle. They are an essential accessory for professional fiber optic technicians working in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise network environments where maintaining exact ribbon geometry is critical for low-loss splices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these holders compatible with 250um ribbons?
No, the FHM-12N is specifically designed for 200um pitch ribbons. Use the FHM-12 for 250um ribbon applications.
What is included with the purchase?
The product includes one pair of fiber holders.
How do these holders prevent fiber slippage?
They feature magnetic covers that apply a consistent, secure clamping force to the ribbon fibers.
Are they compatible with non-Sumitomo splicers?
These holders are designed specifically for use with Sumitomo Electric Lightwave fusion splicers such as the Q101, Q102, and Quantum-Ultra series.
Can these be used with other fiber cleavers?
They are validated for use with the FC-6R+ and FC-8R models.
