Features:
- Repair damaged SMPTE 311 hybrid cables on-site in a fraction of the time as conventional methods and without the need for expensive polishers
- Eliminates the time and expense associated with shipping cables to be repaired by the original manufacturer
- Terminate custom length cables onsite with factory results
- 100% compatible with the global standard LEMO SMPTE 304M connectors
- Splices standard 125um fibers with 250um and 900um coatings
- Compatible with standard Fitel splice on connectors
LEMO has partnered with 3SAE Technologies, Inc., offering an exclusive breakthrough technology allowing for both factory and on-site termination by replacing the fiber optic connector polish process with a spliced fiber contact connector. This process removes the need for the fiber epoxy and polish process, allowing for a quicker and simpler termination process for build-to-order, installation,or field repair applications.
Fusion splice equipment has been used in field fiber applications for years and is now available to benefit the broadcast industry. This proven technology greatly reduces the time and the level of expertise required for terminating the LEMO fiber optic hybrid connectors. This termination process makes it much easier to attach or repair SMPTE connectors in the field due to the simplicity, portability, and reliability of fusion splicing.
Spliced fiber connections, protected by LEMO's 3K.93C connector shells, have negligible insertion loss, and are not affected by temperature extremes. Fusion splices combine the best of pre-terminated contacts and continuous fiber connectors.
Applications:
- On-site fusion splicing eliminates the difficulty of polishing. The pre-polished fiber contacts are tested and inspected to ensure 100% compliance. Now every fiber termination has LEMO factory quality.
- Repair damaged LEMO fiber optic cables on site, eliminating costly down time and shipping charges.
- Use this system to splice other standard 125um fibers with 250um and 900um coatings.
- Use splicing technology with cables, patch panels and bulkhead mounted connectors.
- Pull cable through conduit to required lengths and terminate on-site rather than pre-ordering complete cable assemblies with estimated lengths. This eliminates waste and the potential for damaged connectors.
