Furukawa Electric Fitel ® SmartFuse™
fusion splicing software from OFS
has been enhanced to include
automated optimal facial-fit
alignment and a new effective live
fiber splicing method.
The Fitel SmartFuse facial-fit alignment
software provides the optimal fit
between two end faces of fibers
prior to splicing, enabling increased
production throughput while helping
to minimize labor costs. With larger
diameter fibers, end-face cleaving
is often imperfect. The SmartFuse
software measures the end face
angle, rotates the fibers, determines
the optimal fit between the two faces,
and then splices them; all in a fully
automated mode. This new feature
enables the splicing of cleave angles
that would have previously been
rejected or have required extensive
operator time to align manually.
New software for
optimal splices
Nassau National Cable has launched
anewwebsitewithcompanionmobile
apps for iOS and Android devices that
enable full access to the company’s
product catalog.
The company’s aim is to provide
all customers, from experienced
contractors and electricians to
do-it-yourselfers, with the information
and products they need. A problem
often encountered by consumers
buying specialist products is
uncertainty as to what product is
required for a specific job.
To solve this problem, Nassau Electrical
offers the option to chat live with a
representative online to answer any
questions the customer may have.
In addition, customers will be able to
buy the lengths they require for their
job at set prices.
