This unit
The Ericsson RSU-12 fiber holders (model 42SM045 R1 8R) are precision alignment components engineered for the Ericsson RSU-12 fusion splicer. These holders position optical fibers with micron-level accuracy during the splicing process, enabling consistent low-loss joints across single and multi-fiber configurations. The design accommodates single-mode, multimode, dispersion-shifted, and non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers in both standard and ribbon geometries.
Technical Specifications
- Model: 42SM045 R1 8R
- Fiber Capacity: Single fiber or up to 12-fiber ribbon configurations
- Fiber Type Support: Single Mode (SM), Multimode (MM), Dispersion Shifted Fiber (DSF), Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber (NZ-DSF)
- Cladding Diameter Compatibility: 125/250 µm and 125/900 µm
- Alignment Architecture: Fixed V-grooves for radial alignment; high-precision stepper motors for axial alignment
- Splice Loss (SM 12-fiber ribbon, identical fibers): 0.04 dB typical
- Splice Method: Fully automatic with cold core alignment and warm image processing
- Operating Temperature Range: 0–45 °C
- Storage Temperature Range: −20 to +60 °C
- Humidity (Non-condensing): Maximum 98% RH
Key Features
- Fixed V-groove geometry ensures repeatable radial positioning of fibers
- Stepper motor-driven axial alignment delivers sub-micron adjustment precision
- Automatic splice cycle integrates cold core detection with thermal image processing
- Supports ribbon fiber splicing up to 12 strands in a single operation
- Compatible with multiple fiber types and jacket diameters within specified ranges
Compatibility & Integration These holders function as integral components of the Ericsson RSU-12 fusion splicer platform. The RSU-12 system delivers splice cycles in less than 40 seconds, incorporating integrated heating for rapid sleeve shrink and a large-view color monitor for process visualization. Associated accessories including ultrasonic cleaners and fiber ribbonizers complement the splicing workflow.
Ericsson 42SM045 R1 8R — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Ericsson 42SM045 R1 8R. Calibration covers arc calibration (arc power and duration), V-groove alignment verification, cleave angle detection accuracy, splice loss estimation accuracy, and heating oven temperature calibration. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Ericsson 42SM045 R1 8R faults: electrode wear, V-groove contamination or chipping, motor alignment drift, high arc voltage errors. Common repairs include electrode replacement (typically every 2,000-3,000 arcs), V-groove cleaning or replacement, motor and actuator alignment, and camera/CCD replacement. Fujikura FSM and Sumitomo Type series parts are stocked.
