AFL

AFL introduced the newest member of its fibre inspection family, FOCIS WiFi, at the BICSI Winter Conference and Photonics West in early February. It provides wireless connection of an inspection probe to a customer’s Android or IOS phone or tablet.

AFL is introducing the Poli-MOD, a pig-tailed optical interconnect patch and splice module designed for network growth.

Accommodating up to 24 fibre interconnections in an industry-standard, single-slot LGX 118 footprint, the Poli-MOD module uses a snap-in splice sleeve cradle that securely manages both single and ribbon fibre arrangements. This customised cradle provides a means for the installer to secure splice sleeves prior to routing fibre within the module, reducing installation time and minimising the risk for damaging fibre.

AFL now offers Nyfors Teknologi AB’s new family of recoating products including the ReCoater 2, AutoCoater 2, MiniCoater 2 and ReCoater 2XL. Ideal for restoring the protective coating on optical fibres, NYFORS’ new recoaters are sold exclusively by AFL in the North American market. 

AFL has launched the LL-580 optical splicing and distribution enclosure, designed for organising, splicing and interconnecting fibres.

The enclosure addresses the need to patch, patch and splice, express cut/drop fibres and manage wavelengths (WDM or splitters) in a single enclosure. AFL says that, given its flexibility, the enclosure is an ideal fit for business service hand-offs, MDU distribution and connectivity, cellular backhaul and other commercial services that require weather-proof field connectivity.

AFL has introduced the Fujikura 19S fusion splicer, a fixed, V‑groove single fibre splicer, the latest in several new field splicer solutions launched by the company in 2013.

The company says the device retains the proven ruggedised features pioneered by Fujikura, but incorporates automated and enhanced user control capabilities to increase splicing efficiency.
