Sumitomo PCH-12V Pitch Conversion Holders, 12F 200um to 250um

Overview

The Sumitomo PCH-12V Pitch Conversion Holders are specialized fiber optic accessories engineered to facilitate the fusion splicing of 12-fiber ribbons. These holders allow for the precise conversion of ribbon pitch from 200-micron to 250-micron, enabling compatibility with standard ribbon fusion splicers.

Designed for reliability in field and data center environments, these holders feature integrated magnetic clamps that close securely to maintain optimal fiber positioning and prevent slippage during the splicing process. They are specifically optimized for partially bonded and rollable ribbon fibers, including industry-standard options like OFS Rollable Ribbon and Prysmian FlexRibbon®.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of the PCH-12V holder?
The PCH-12V holder allows 12-fiber ribbons with a 200-micron pitch to be converted to a 250-micron pitch so they can be processed by standard ribbon fusion splicers.

Which fiber types are compatible with these holders?
They are designed for 12-fiber ribbons and are specifically optimized for partially bonded or rollable ribbon fibers, such as OFS Rollable Ribbon and Prysmian FlexRibbon®.

Are these holders compatible with my Sumitomo splicer?
These holders are compatible with the Quantum-Ultra ribbon, TYPE-71M12, TYPE-81M12, TYPE-82M12, and Q102-M12+ series splicers.

How do the holders prevent fiber slippage?
The holders utilize magnetic clamps that close tightly to ensure the fiber ribbon remains stationary during the splicing process.

Is the PCH-12V GSA compliant?
No, this model is listed as non-TAA compliant.
