AFL’s FlexScan TS100 Optical Troubleshooter is an easy-to-use, all-in-one tool for detecting, identifying, locating, and resolving single-mode optical network issues. The TS100 has auto-configured settings to quickly measure received power, link length, loss, and ORL with the push of a button. The results are displayed using color-coded LinkMap® icons for easy analysis. The FlexScan TS100 automates testing, shortens test time, interprets results, and recommends corrective actions, improving efficiency of frontline technicians and reducing costs.

Diagnose your network in seconds: Just press Start and the TS100 immediately measures and displays received power levels when connected to a live GPON and/or 10GPON network. Within seconds, link length, loss, and ORL are displayed, along with faults exceeding industry or user-set pass/fail limits. The TS100 even recommends corrective actions based on test results making it easier for technicians to find and fix network problems.

Requires little, if any, training: Designed primarily for field technicians activating and maintaining broadband access networks, the TS100 requires minimal training and no OTDR experience. SmartAuto® auto-configures test settings and presents network test results in easy-to-understand, color-coded icons indicating passing or failing connections, splices, and splitters.

All-in-one test capability: The FlexScan TS100 includes an integrated VFL, power meter, and light source. It can be easily paired to AFL’s award-winning FOCIS family of inspection scopes, ensuring technicians have everything they need to locate and quickly resolve optical network issues. The source and power meter generate and detect fiber-identifying tones and support Wave ID insertion loss testing featuring automatic wavelength identification and synchronization.

Designed for field use: FlexScan TS100 is small (3.5 x 6 x 1.75 in (86 x 160 x 43 mm)) and weighs less than a pound (0.4 kg). It has a large, bright indoor/outdoor touchscreen, and rechargeable battery that lasts >12 hours for all-day operation.

Multiple storing and reporting options: Results can be stored internally, saved to a USB, or wirelessly uploaded via the free FlexApp for real-time reporting using the included FlexReports Test Results Manager software.

Convenient cost-saving kits: Bundle the FlexScan TS100 with your choice of launch cable and FOCIS Flex connector inspection probe with adapter tips for significant cost-savings!

Field-replaceable connector: With AFL's optional field-replaceable connector, avoid expensive service repairs to replace connectors damaged due to poor cleaning practices and/or normal wear-and-tear.

The Fujikura 45S cladding alignment fusion splicer is changing the way people splice fiber in small to mid-fiber count applications. This Fujikura splicer debuts a landmark improvement to the fusion splicing process with the ability to prepare and load both fibers simultaneously. The hand-held fiber coating stripper, the SS-05, is capable of stripping two 250 μm coated fibers in the same pass, along with the CT-16A cleaver adapter plate which can likewise accommodate two bare fibers for cleaving. After preparation, the 45S patented sheath clamps enable loading both fibers simultaneously into the splicer with one fiber in each hand. The user can press down on the sheath clamp base to close it while positioning the fiber in the v-grooves. This enables onehanded operation.

Furthermore, the 45S sheath clamps are mechanically linked to the wind protector, so after splicing is finished, opening the wind protector also opens both sheath clamps for quick sleeve positioning and transfer to the tube heater. The 45S tube heater shrinks sleeves much faster than its predecessor with a nominal ~20 second heat time for 60 mm sleeves down from ~26 seconds. The simultaneous fiber preparation capability, automated sheath clamp opening, and a faster tube heater, combine to lower the overall fusion splicing cycle time by ~30% or more.

The 45S continues to benefit the user experience with improvements to fiber placement, battery access, and machine ergonomics. Previously, when using sheath clamps, if the cleaved fiber was accidentally set past the electrode centerline, the machine would send an error and require manual intervention. The 45S will now accept this mistake and reverse the fiber to correct position automatically. With a cube form factor, the 45S is easily transported and operated in space-constrained environments. The adjustable screen can alleviate glare from the sun and adjust with abnormal splicer positions confronted in challenging splice locations.

Backed by the best service team in the industry, the Fujikura 45S is the ideal splicer to use when portability, ruggedness, speed, and reliability are needed. If you’d like to see the 45S capabilities first-hand, please contact us at 1-866-396-6248 to arrange a product demonstration at your earliest convenience.

FIBERPRO’s Polarization Scramblers perform polarization scrambling at high speed and make Degree Of Polarization (DOP) zero on time average. It is based on allfiber technology that has enabled us to build practically zero insertion loss, back reflection free and a compact polarization scrambler.

Polarization dependence is one of the biggest issues in fiber-optic measurement, communications and sensors. PDL in components and equipments, Polarization Dependent Gain (PDG) in EDFA are typical examples. Depolarizing is one of the solutions for the polarizing problems. Polarization Scrambler provides the best solution for most situations in which the depolarization is needed. This equipment provides you with an excellent way to characterize/qualify optical property of optical devices. Furthermore, our PS can solve the problems associated with PDG of EDFAs by scrambling polarization of the optical signal.
