This unit
The ERICSSON FSU 995FA is a portable fusion splicer and cleaver system engineered for field fiber optic termination. It combines single-fiber splicing with integrated fiber preparation, delivering typical splice loss of 0.02 dB for identical single-mode fibers. The instrument employs hot core alignment with mode coupling theory and hot image processing to personalize splicing procedures based on fiber type and environmental conditions.
Technical Specifications
- Splice Loss: Typical 0.02 dB for identical single-mode fibers
- Cladding Diameter Range: 30–270 mm (Automode); 30–400 mm (Manual mode)
- Secondary Coating: Up to 1 mm diameter on fibers with 125 mm cladding (blue V-grooves); loose-tube secondary coating up to 2 mm tube diameter (black V-grooves)
- Primary Coating: Nominal 250 mm
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to –40°C
- Humidity: 0–95% RH
- Power Supply: 12 V DC battery or 50–60 Hz power supply unit
- Interface: RS232 PC communication via rear PWR outlet and cable
Key Features
- Hot core alignment with thin core alignment capability
- Negative index matching and altitude compensation
- Automatic arc recentering
- Warm image direct access
- Erbium fiber and high-strength splicing modes
- Dual V-groove sets: blue (bare fiber) and black (primary coated)
- 10 factory-preset programs (01–10) plus 40 user-editable slots (11–50)
- Automode and Manual operating modes
- Data upload/download functionality with PC communication package
- Optional plug-in unit for standard heat-shrink sleeves
Typical Applications Standard factory splicing, fiber tapering, attenuator production, erbium fiber splicing, and field termination requiring minimal splice loss across single-fiber configurations.
Compatibility & Integration Accepts all single-fiber types within specified cladding and coating ranges. Supports RS232 connectivity for workstation integration and custom program development. Portable carrying case design enables field deployment.

Ericsson FSU 995FA — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Ericsson FSU 995FA. 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 FSU 995FA 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.
