UVC Fiber Optic Splices

Product information "UVC Fiber Optic Splices"

Bare Fiber; 125-140 µm; Cleaved; Ø3.8x38 mm; Material Borosilicate Glass; Average Light Loss 0.20 dB; Operating Temperature -40-+80°C

Norland Products’ UVC fiber optic splice is the first really easy-to-use, high-performance connection for optical fibers. This splice incorporates a precision TRW glass alignment guide and a proactive glass sleeve in a unique one-piece design that minimizes handling of bare fiber.

Everything has been carefully engineered into this compact 38 mm glass tube. Just fill with Norland optical adhesive, insert fibers and cure for a sturdy, ready to handle splice in minutes. The wide mouth entrance of the splice makes it easy to insert fibers. This versatile design feature also allows the one splice to accommodate all types of fiber with any size buffer coating up to 1 mm in diameter.

The fibers easily slide into the central glass guide and automatically align with pinpoint accuracy. The all-glass construction provides the perfect thermal match for optical fibers and assures long stability over a wide range of temperatures.

Two variants are available: Part No. 20125 is an UVC optical splice that fits 125 µm to 140 µm fiber, while 20126 is suitable for preinstalling pigtails that also fits 125 µm to 140 µm fiber. A compact, metal precision machine fixture is available as an accessory, that holds a splice and fibers for optimum alignment and cure.

SW Series Fiber Optic MEMS Switches
Non-latching; 1x2 to 1x32; Fiber Type SM, MM; 1240 to 1640 nm; Insertion Loss 0.5 to 2.5 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 1 to 20 ms Sercalo Microtechnology’s SW series are very fast, opto-mechanical switches based on the MEMS technology. These non-latching MEMS switches available both for single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) fibers in 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x13, 1x16, 1x32 and 2x2 configurations. All SW series 1xN components are designed to establish an optical connection between one optical port and either one of up to 32 input or output lines in a very short time, while the 2x2 variants are designed for optical cross connect switching in single mode (SM) or multi mode (MM) fiber networks. Powered by a 5 VDC supply voltage, the SW series switches allow to control the switching state with a 5 V TTL or CMOS drive signal. The switching mechanism offers the reliability of a solid state device; it neither wears out nor degrades over time. Even after billions of cycles the switching quality stays constant. The SW series’ highly reliable switching mechanism uses integrated micromirrors, features fast switching times down to below 1 ms for some models and shows only 0.5 to 2.5 dB insertion loss. With its MEMS switching structure, the SM series of fiber optic MEMS switches achieves repeatability of 0.001 dB and shows a very flat insertion loss over the full spectrum of the fiber. The miniature package withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. The SM switch series is qualified according to Telcordia GR 1221 and mainly used in test and measurement applications. Key Features: Reliable Insertion Loss (IL): 0.5 to 2.5 dB Response Time: 1 to 20 ms Crosstalk: 60 dB Miniature Size Non-latching Applications: Optical Reconfiguration; Protection Switching; Network Restoration

LOR-200 OTDRs
400-1650 nm; Pulse Width 2-1,000 ns; Measurement Range ≤160 km; Fiber Type SM, MM; Connector Type FC, SC, ST – APC or PC Luciol Instruments’ LOR-200 series is a family of fully portable, stand-alone high-resolution OTDRs based on Luciol’s patented scanning photon-counting technology. The instruments are integrated in a Windows-based PC platform with touchscreen interface, achieve a superior dynamic range and allow high-resolution fiber characterization up to a total distance range of 160 km. Optimized for telecom wavelengths, typically from 1000 to 1650 nm, the LOR-200 OTDRs feature industry-leading resolution, distinguishing events with 20 cm separation, and a 50 cm attenuation dead-zone. Their unique dynamic range for short pulse lengths (up to 15 dB for 2 ns pulses) enables to see through optical splitters, even over very short distances. The optical pulse width is variable from 2 ns to 1 µs. A large variety of wavelength options is available, up to 4 different emitters can be integrated in a single module. The fiber options include single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) versions. In addition, a model designed for FTTx applications is available. This version with matched filter allows in-service testing of live passive optical networks (PON), without disturbing the transmission, and can easily see through optical splitters. All necessary filter elements, including Raman-backscattering filters, are included in this OTDR. Luciol has added several options to the LOR-200 high-resolution OTDRs: The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option enables a blinking red laser, which is connected to the same connector as the OTDR itself. The user can switch from VFL to OTDR measurement directly in the software, without removing the connecting fiber. With access to the end of the fiber under test, the VFL can be used as a fiber identifier, to verify that the correct assembly is tested. This feature is especially useful for customers testing assemblies with multiple-fiber connectors with a probe. Please not that this VFL option is available only with the 670 nm OTDR wavelength. The Optical Power Meter (OPM) option is calibrated at 670, 850, 1310, 1550 and 1610 nm. It covers power ranges of -50 to +5 dBm at 670 to 850 nm and -60 to +5 dBm at 1310 to 1610 nm. With the Fiber Microscope (FM, FSL) option, the user can verify the surface quality and cleanliness of all optical connectors before use. The surface is shown onto the LOR screen. It can be saved and printed for reference or reporting. Advanced software application is also available. With LOR-200-U, Luciol Instruments offers a table-top packaging option that requires an external PC for control and operation. LOR-200-U is equipped with a standard USB port for convenient and easy connection to most Windows based PC and is ideal for test bench integration, laboratory environment OTDR testing and many more applications. Benefit from the LOR-200 series’ high resolution for your FTTx/PON application for precise fault location and ONT detection.
