AI-driven demand in high-speed data transmission requires reliable technology. The FITEL S185-ROF range of splicers offers rapid and precise rotational alignment for both multi-core and hollow core ecosystems, in a compact package that is ideal for field deployment. At the core of the S185-ROF range is the proven three-electrode Ring of Fire® arc discharge system, that uniformly heats the fiber surface to enable strong and low-loss splices. New STA2D (Sequential Triangular Asymmetric Arc Discharging) capabilities build upon this technology, firing pairs of electrodes in a rotational sequence around the fiber. This provides exceptional heat control for splicing modern anti-resonant hollow core fibers; the cladding is gradually fused to create a strong splice without disturbing the delicate internal microstructure of the hollow-core fiber.
