    What to do if there is a white line in Sumitomo Z2C Industrial Equipment splices?
    • K
      Kelsey WilliamsAug 5, 2025
      If you observe a white line in your Sumitomo Industrial Equipment splices, it could be due to non-optimal arc power or a short pre-fusion time. To address this, perform an arc test to ensure the splicer indicates “Arc OK” and increase the pre-fusion time.

    Why is there bulging in my Sumitomo Z2C splice?
    • T
      Travis TaylorAug 10, 2025
      If your Sumitomo Industrial Equipment splice exhibits bulging, it might be caused by an excessive overlap, non-optimal arc power, or dust on the V-groove and bare fiber pads. Try decreasing the overlap, performing an arc test to ensure the splicer gives an “Arc OK”, and cleaning the V-groove and bare fiber pads.

    How to fix a kink or offset in Sumitomo Z2C?
    • J
      jgarciaAug 15, 2025
      A kink or offset in Sumitomo Industrial Equipment splices can occur if there's dust on the V-groove and bare fiber pads, the arc power isn't optimum, or the melt back distance isn't equal between the left and right fibers. Clean the V-groove and bare fiber pads. Perform an arc test to ensure the splicer gives “Arc OK”.

    What to do if Sumitomo Industrial Equipment shows neck-down?
    • K
      Kerry GoodAug 19, 2025
      If you see a neck-down in your Sumitomo Industrial Equipment splice, it may be because the overlap is too small, the arc power isn't optimum, or there's dust on the V-groove and bare fiber pads. Increase the overlap, perform an arc test to ensure the splicer gives “Arc OK”, and clean the V-groove and bare fiber pads.

    Why is there a bubble in my Sumitomo Z2C Industrial Equipment splice?
    • M
      millerjohnAug 26, 2025
      A bubble in Sumitomo Industrial Equipment splices may appear if the pre-fusion time is too short, there is dust on the fiber, or the cleave angle of the fiber exceeds the allowable limit. Increase the pre-fusion time and cleave the fiber again.

    How to remove a black line from Sumitomo Z2C Industrial Equipment splice?
    • J
      John WhiteAug 30, 2025
      If you notice a black line in your Sumitomo Industrial Equipment splice, it indicates dust on the fiber. Cleave the fiber again to resolve this.
