The Type-45 Micro-Single is an economical means for creating automatic, low-loss optical fiber fusion splices - offering superb splicing portability. The front-to-back workflow is ideal for splicing in confined areas such as aerial or taut-sheath applications.
The Type-45 typically requires less than 20 seconds to make an automatic fusion splice, and the average splice loss for identical single mode fibers is 0.05 decibels (dB).
The Type-45 is equipped with an on-board splice protection heater that is used to heat shrink a fiber protection sleeve over a completed splice. A 60mm fiber protection sleeve can be fully shrunk in less than 75 seconds.
