FSM-100 Fiber Ribbonizing Tool for Single-Core to Ribbon Fiber Conversion
The FSM-100 organizes loose single-core fibers into a flat ribbon arrangement, helping technicians prepare 12-core or 16-core fiber groups for efficient mass fusion splicing. It is a practical fiber arrangement tool for FTTH deployment, data center installation, backbone and trunk work, and telecom maintenance.
Why use the FSM-100?
- Choose 12-core or 16-core capacity: Select the configuration that matches your ribbon fusion splicer and fiber workflow.
- Single-core to ribbon preparation: Converts loose individual fibers into an organized flat ribbon format for ribbon-capable fusion splicing.
- Standard fiber compatibility: Designed for standard 250 µm and 900 µm coated fibers.
- Consistent alignment: Helps place fibers in standard color-code order with precise positioning.
- Stable clamping: Supports controlled handling and helps reduce fiber movement during preparation.
- Field- and workshop-ready: Compact and lightweight for fiber technicians, labs, factories, and installation teams.
How the fiber ribbonizing tool fits your workflow
- Prepare the single-core fibers according to your splicing procedure.
- Place the fibers into the FSM-100 in the required color-code order.
- Align and clamp the fiber group to create a neat, flat ribbon arrangement.
- Move the prepared ribbon fiber to a compatible ribbon fusion splicer for mass fusion splicing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the FSM-100 used for?
It arranges loose single-core fibers into a flat ribbon format so they can be prepared for mass fusion splicing with a compatible ribbon fusion splicer.
Should I choose the 12-core or 16-core version?
Choose the version that matches the core capacity and holder requirements of your ribbon fusion splicer and the fiber groups you normally prepare.
What fiber coatings does it support?
The FSM-100 is designed for standard 250 µm and 900 µm coated fibers.
Does this tool splice the fibers?
No. The FSM-100 prepares and arranges the fibers. Fusion splicing is completed with a compatible ribbon fusion splicer.
