The Fujikura 90S is a precision core-alignment fusion splicer engineered for single-fiber splicing in field and laboratory environments. It delivers average splice loss of 0.02 dB on single-mode fiber using active core alignment, with splice times ranging from 7 to 16 seconds depending on mode and fiber type. The 90S integrates Active Fusion Control Technology (AFCT) for real-time arc power optimization based on cleave quality and fiber brightness analysis, paired with Active Blade Management Technology (ABMT) for wireless cleaver integration and blade wear monitoring.
## Technical Specifications

• Splice time: 7–9 seconds (SM FAST mode); 11–16 seconds (SM AUTO and standard AUTO modes); 9–15 seconds (60 mm modes)
• Heat time: Average 9 seconds standard; 13–15 seconds (60 mm mode)
## Key Features
**Active Fusion Control Technology (AFCT)**
Combines end-face analysis with real-time fusion monitoring. Evaluates cleave quality and fiber brightness during the fusion arc, then adjusts arc power automatically to optimize splice parameters.
**Active Blade Management Technology (ABMT)**
Wireless communication with up to two Fujikura CT50 cleavers. Monitors cleave count and blade wear, commands blade rotation when worn, and displays remaining blade life with replacement advisories.
**Hardware & Interface**
• Automated wind protector with manual override capability
• Universal automated sheath clamps for both 250 μm and 900 μm loose-tube fiber
• Fiber retention clamps for enhanced stability
• 5.0-inch graphical touchscreen interface
• Tool-less electrode replacement design
## Compatibility & Integration
The 90S accommodates single-mode and multi-mode fibers with cladding diameters from 80 to 150 μm and coating diameters up to 3,000 μm. Wireless integration with Fujikura CT50 cleavers enables automated blade management and real-time cleaver status feedback. Performance specifications are measured at room temperature with AC adapter power; environmental conditions, fiber characteristics, sleeve type, and battery condition affect actual heat and splice times.
