Fibre Splicing

[panduitjacks]

What gets rid of all the "gunk thats on it" is a static electricity charge that zaps any remaining dust particles on the freshly cleaved glass.

This is the same machine i did my first splicing on.

You don't need a certification to use these machines. They're simple to use, but slightly difficult to get the parameters right on such as "gap distance", "prefusion time", "fusion voltage", etc.

anybody in australia who is a splicer or knows any companies that do fiber work, please contact me!

0.02 lolll on my 1st time

Does the operator need to know how to do anything or is this a fully automated process?

[G7130]

You have to get certified.

And someone that terminates fiber will charge you anywhere from $500-thousands of dollars just for one termination.

[liveaid1985]

BTW the piece of equipment is like $30,000.00 dollars

SilentKiller: The smal box in the front is called a cleaver. It cuts the fiber to give it a perfect edge. The larger box is the splice machine which attaches the 2 ends together with a very hot arc. You catch on quickly!

[SilentKiller01]

in the beginning the small box he was using is that to make a perfect?

and the machine melts the two end together ?

wont get a 240 done in a day like that!!

How do you do cable splicing? I want to work for Edison!

[onatsky04]

splicing is simple and easy.. u just need to know the color coding.. the fibers should be clean (no dust - no liquid) before you put in a fusion machine..

[randymanhugger]

cool dude..Thanks!

i have spliced fiber with telstra for about 15years...I cant believe that york cleaver still works rofl. BTW i use the fuji as well...:)

[lemire1387]

I worked at Tycom in NewHampshire they used to do this.

I remember doing this shit in HS as a part time job.

[Nils163]

Yes, this cleaver in video is stupid.

[Toffer500]

I worked as a design engineer for York Technology. The cleaver was a flash of genius! Using an ultrasonic horn to cleave optical fibre!  BTW, one of the founders of York Technology, Professor David Payne, and inventor of the erbium-doped fibre amplifier, has a CBE and a KELVIN Award, was recently awarded a MARCONI Prize for his inventions that changed the progress of mankind...I would hang on to the cleaver!

You wanna get yourself a new cleaver to go with that Fuji 50 mate
