Preface

Description
The Greenlee Communications 910FS Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer is intended to fuse
fibers, resulting in low splice loss and long-term stable splices. Splice loss depends on
certain conditions such as fiber preparation, splicing parameters, and fiber condition.
The 910FS fusion splicer uses a CDS (Core Detection System), which is also widely
known as PAS (Profile Alignment System). Two cameras sense the center of the core
of the fibers, with the fusion splicer then adjusting in the X, Y, and Z dimensions to
automatically and precisely align the two fiber cores. A fusing arc is applied, which then
provides the lowest loss fusion splice.
The 910FS with PAS technology is designed for splicing many types of optical fibers.
It is small in size and lightweight, making it suitable for any operating environment. It is
easy to operate, and it splices fast while maintaining low splice loss.
