Why you should have one true 6-motor fiber core alignment fusion splicer?

1. Why need to use true 6-motor fiber core alignment fusion splicer?

a. As is well known, the price of Fujikura, Sumitomo, and Fitel fusion splicers are very high, especially those with 6-motor fiber core alignment. However, there are still many customers who choose their fusion splicers. What is the core value of fiber core alignment fusion splicer in fiber network construction?

b. Many customers feel that the loss caused by 4-motor cladding fusion splicer is not high, even some times near the same, and they can accept it. Why use such an expensive fusion splicer? Conversely, some high demand customers have mandatory requirements to use 6 motors core alignment fusion splicing.

c. And some people may encounter such problems at home. The broadband installed by clients is 500M, but in actual use, it is just around 300M?

Here I will use a Mathematical calculations to answer the above four questions:

There is no doubt that the average welding loss of a 4-motor fusion splicer is higher than that of a 6-motor true fiber core alignment fusion splicer.

a. If the average loss of a 4-motor fusion splicer differs by 0.010dB from the average loss of a 6-motor fusion splicer, in a 50km mainline project, there should be at least 10 fusion points on a line. 

So: the difference is 0.010 * 10=0.1dB

b. The path of fiber optic to the home: mainline - local area network - house/home, usually with level 2 to level 3 branching. 

c. if that the level is 2, branching to the house/home is 4 and 32 typically, the difference in fiber optic to house/home loss is 0.1dB * 4 * 32=12.8dB. The more levels there are, the larger the branching, and the greater the difference in loss.

How to control the signal loss? You need to control the fiber splicing loss, and you need to use a 6 motor real core alignment fusion splicer. It is simple and easy to control the signal loss.
