Technique splices optical fibres in communications
A Tyco Electronics product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Nov 4, 2010
Lightcrimp splice technology is a new rapid technique for splicing optical fibres in communications networks.
The technique saves time and reduces installation costs by allowing users to terminate single optical fibres in less than a minute by simply stripping the cable, cleaving the fibre and carrying out the crimp operation.
Lightcrimp splice technology is a technique for splicing optical fibres in communications networks
There is no need for epoxy, special set-up procedures or workstations.
The technique is ideal for use with low-fibre count cables and the same Lightcrimp splice is used for single-mode and multi-mode 125um-diameter fibres.
Lightcrimp splices provide rugged, miniaturised form-factor splices are said to offer quality, dependability and performance that rivals that of fusion splices.
Lightcrimp splices have been tested in accordance with IEC 61300 procedures, with an operating temperature range extending from -25 to 70C.
They have also been designed to meet TIA 568-C.3, IEC 61753 Cat U and EN optical requirements.
All necessary components and tools for Lightcrimp splices are available in a starter kit, including a rugged case.
