The Fujikura FH-8 Fiber Holder is a precision accessory for securing 8-fiber ribbon configurations during fusion splicing operations. It employs magnetic clamping and a guide-pin placement system to maintain accurate fiber core alignment, minimizing splice loss and ensuring signal integrity. The two-part assembly—constructed from heat-hardened plastic base and iron-nickel alloy lid—integrates directly into Fujikura splicing and cleaving workflows, allowing fibers to remain secured from cleaving through splicing without repositioning.
## Technical Specifications
• **Fiber Capacity:** 8-fiber ribbon configurations
• **Material:** Heat-hardening plastic base plate; iron-nickel alloy lid
• **Clamping Mechanism:** Magnetic clamping for fiber retention
• **Dimensions:** Approximately 38–42 mm (Length) × 16 mm (Width) × 7–8 mm (Height)
• **Weight:** Approximately 20–22 g per pair
• **Placement System:** Guide-pin system with two pins per side
## Key Features
• Two-part assembly design (base and lid) for precise fiber placement
• Compact, ergonomic form factor for streamlined integration into splicing workflows
• Magnetic retention eliminates repeated fiber handling during cleaving-to-splicing transitions
• Guide-pin system ensures repeatable, accurate positioning on compatible equipment
## Typical Applications
• 8-fiber ribbon splice preparation and termination
• Fiber alignment during fusion splicing operations
• Multi-fiber cleaving and splicing workflows requiring continuous fiber security
## Compatibility & Integration
The FH-8 is designed for Fujikura ribbon splicer and cleaver systems, including FSM-50R, FSM-60R, FSM-70R, and FSM-90R ribbon splicers. Compatible cleavers include the CT-50 and CT-08. The holder integrates with the FH-series accessory line, which supports additional Fujikura models such as FSM-11R, FSM-17R, FSM-88R, and others. Direct compatibility with Fujikura cleavers ensures fiber remains secure throughout cleaving and splicing without removal.
