Fiber Optic Splicer A Successful Redesign • Simplify your designs • Improve your product performance • Lower your customers’ cost of ownership Application Optical fiber fusion splicer Service Conditions 1. Field unit for repair of fibers under all conditions 2. Passive submicron alignment of fiber ends required 3. Insulation from high voltage (over 5,000 volts) 4. Usable by technicians with minimal training Problems 1. Existing units could not hold required alignment under field conditions 2. Short lifetime for fusing electrodes 3. Customer was considering elimination of the product line Solution Replaced multi piece plastic/ceramic components with a precision fabricated ceramic support Results Fiber alignment and resulting loss specification now within tolerance under all conditions Lifetime of replaceable electrodes tripled over original design Customer decided to retain product line and has improved market share   Back to top
