High Splice Loss Cause and Remedy (cont’d)
Symptom Cause Remedy
Fat Fiber stufng too much. Decrease “Overlap”
and perform “Motor
Calibration”.
Thin Arc power not adequate. Perform “Arc Calibration”.
Some arc parameters not
adequate.
Adjust “Prefuse Power”,
“Prefuse Time”, or

Note: A vertical line sometimes appears at the spice point when MM bers or dissimilar
bers (different diameters) are spliced. This does not affect splice quality, such as splice
loss or tensile strength.
Note: If the user is getting high splice losses, make sure that the 910FS is not in Splice
Mode #10, which is used to make attenuator splices.
Cleaver
If the cleaver does not cleave, make sure that the 250 micron acrylic coating is being
removed during the ber stripping process.
