FAQs of SUMITOMO T-400S Splicing Machine:
Q: How does the SUMITOMO T-400S minimize splice loss during fiber optic splicing?
A: The SUMITOMO T-400S employs core alignment technology, which automatically aligns the fiber cores with high precision. This process results in minimal splice loss, typically as low as 0.02dB for single-mode (SM) fibers, 0.01dB for multimode (MM), and 0.04dB for both DS and NZ-DS fiber types.
Q: What types of optical fibers are compatible with the T-400S fusion splicer?
A: The T-400S is compatible with a wide range of fibers, including single-mode (ITU-T G.652/657), multimode (G.651), dispersion-shifted (G.653), and non-zero dispersion-shifted (G.655) fibers. It supports cladding diameters from 80m to 150m and cleave lengths from 8mm to 16mm.
Q: When should the electrodes of the T-400S be replaced?
A: The electrodes on the T-400S fusion splicer typically last up to 6,000 splicing operations. Regular maintenance and timely replacement after this period help ensure consistent splice quality and device longevity.
Q: Where can the SUMITOMO T-400S be effectively utilized?
A: This splicing machine is ideal for use in telecommunications, data centers, and networking projects. Its compact design and robust battery life also make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor field operations, especially where rapid deployment is necessary.
Q: What is the process to use the T-400S for a standard fiber splice?
A: The standard process involves preparing the fiber using the included cleaver and stripper, positioning fibers in the splicer, and initiating the splice with the touchscreen. The machine aligns the fibers, completes the fusion in around 6 seconds, and finishes with sleeve heating, taking about 24 seconds per cycle for a 60mm sleeve.
Q: How does the T-400S enhance operational efficiency for users?
A: With its fast splicing and heating times, high-capacity battery, and large storage for up to 10,000 results, the T-400S streamlines workflows. These features enable technicians to complete extensive splicing tasks with minimal downtime, improving productivity on-site.
