Manuka Oval Media and Function Centre

Thousands of people were on the edge of their seats, enjoying an incredible cricket showdown. The International Test Match 2019 made history – it was the first of its kind to be held at the brand new Manuka Oval Media and Function Centre.

The scope of the Manuka Oval Media and Function Centre involved constructing a four-storey building, including bar and kitchen support facilities, indoor corporate seating and function space, as well as covered outdoor seating.

Thanks to OSA’s world-class vendors, the project was not only a financial success, but it successfully welcomed thousands of people into its excellent venue and facilities. OSA’s reliable and fault-free delivery of products ensured the project was completed to the highest quality.

OSA's Tech Tip of the Month - Ribbon Fibre Splicer

This month, our tech tip concerns Sumitomo's new ribbon fibre splicer. Ribbon fibres are different to splice, and you'll need to take time to carefully plan how to use your Sumitomo Ribbon Fibre Splicer TYPE-72M12.

Sumitomo's Ribbon Fibre Splicer brings efficiency to the table. While single fibres are usually placed in a splice tray, a ribbon fusion splicer can fuse all 12 fibres at once.

Enjoying the benefits of the Sumitomo Ribbon Fibre Splicer requires more care, but you'll notice the time saving very quickly. To make sure your ribbon fits correctly in a splice tray, OSA shares our key tips to keep in mind. 

Ribbons only bend in one direction and due to the size of the ribbon tray, they cannot overlap each other inside the splice tray. OSA recommends laying the ribbons into the tray before splicing. 

Once everything is in place, remove the two ribbons that you want to splice together, cut them to the correct length, perform the splice, install the splice protector over the splice, and then place it back into the tray.

Remember, you will still need to splice the correct colour code just like you would with a single fibre splicing.

If you would like to hear more tech tips or need further assistance, OSA is here to help.
