Fiber Handler Transfer Inserts
The fiber handler transfer insert used on the glass processors make splicing faster and easier because it
facilitates repeatable fiber positioning when used in conjunction with a LDC400 Large-Diameter Fiber Cleaver. For
example, if the operator uses transfer inserts to hold fibers during cleaving, the operator can then transfer each of
those cleaved fibers a glass processor in the same insert that held them during cleaving and ensure that the ends
of the fibers will fall exactly in the same place every time. This is due to the fact that the transfer inserts are
designed to precisely sit at the same location on both the cleaver and the glass processor, and a magnetic lid on
each transfer insert prevents axial movement of the fiber during transport from one piece of equipment to the
other.

3.4.3. Splice Head
The Splice Head consists of two parts: the Filament Tower and the Mirror Tower. The splice head moves along
the Z-axis to allow for viewing and splicing stationary fibers.
