TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS | PART #FSP200
Core Alignment Splicer
DESCRIPTION
The FSP200 touchscreen optical fusion splicer uses core alignment technology, which allows the technician to reliably fuse fiber optic cables with low splice losses in as little time as seven seconds. The intuitive user interface keeps the learning curve short and enables the technician to be productive in a very short time. FTT(x), P2P installations, and all standard fibers are supported with pre-qualified splicing profiles that can be modified and subsequently stored for more demanding fiber applications.
The FSP200 uses the Tempo Communications Splice on Connector, which provides a low loss, low return loss, and reliable connection that surpasses the failure-prone mechanical connector. Splice-on connectors also allow for easier fiber routing, which reduces fiber preparation since the splice-on connector is pre-cleaved and also eliminates the need for a splice tray.
Other manufacturers’ splice-on connectors are compatible with the Tempo Communications fusion splicers with the use of an optional splice-on connector adapter.
