The Sumitomo Fiber Holders FHS-025 (note the model number is FHS-025, not FHS-02S) are specialized accessories designed to securely hold 250µm single-mode optical fibers during the fiber optic fusion splicing process. They are compatible with various Sumitomo fusion splicer models.
Key Features and Specifications
Function: The primary purpose is to position and align the optical fiber precisely within the fiber cleaver, jacket remover, and fusion splicer, ensuring optimal alignment before the splice is performed.
Fiber Compatibility: Specifically designed for 250µm single fiber. (Note: Other models in the FHS series are available for different fiber types, such as the FHS-09 for 900µm fibers).
Splicer Compatibility: The FHS-025 holders are compatible with a range of Sumitomo Electric fusion splicers, including models like the Type-66, Type-39, T-55, Type-81C, Type-Q101, and others, as well as the FIS CA6 fusion splicer.
Holding Method: The fiber is typically held in place using a magnetic clamp system.
Construction: They are manufactured to tightly controlled tolerances to ensure stable and precise performance during splicing operations.
Usage: They are typically sold as a pair (left and right holders).
