Splice module for use in fiber optic cable alignment and splicing devices |
摘要 |
A splice module for use in fiber optic cable alignment and splicing devices is disclosed, having a multi-piece v-groove module and, in one embodiment, a separately disposable electrode module such that in use only the electrode module needs to be replaced after each fiber optic cable splicing operation. The v-groove module comprises three pieces of nonconductive ceramic material held together with an adhesive. The three pieces provide for a precision v-groove for fiber optic cable alignment during mechanical splicing or fusion splicing. The electrode module includes a nonconductive ceramic with plated electrode circuit and an adhesive for mounting in the v-groove module. The electrode module provides the arc for fusing fiber optic cable and is designed to be user replaceable and inexpensive. Also disclosed is a tool and method for the easy user replacement of the electrode module of the present invention. In addition, the v-groove module may be used for the mechanical alignment of fibers as the basis for a permanent splice.
