Product Description：
T-66 Ribbon Fusion Splicer with Built-in Dual Heat Shrink Ovens
The Type-66 TuffCat mass fusion splicer features the industrys first Dual-Automatic-Splice
Protection Sleeve Heater System - Sumitomos exclusive patent-pending system. The dual
heater systems simultaneous operation helps to eliminate squandered time waiting for a
single heater system to complete its cycle. Instead, the streamlined splicing process reduces
the bottle neck of "heater wait time" by 88% improving mass splicing efficiency and productivity
in the field by 70%.
The TuffCat features an effortless fiber holder system to increase splice repeatability while
making the unit easy to use regardless while making the unit easy to use regardless of the
operators experience level. Utilizing precision v-groove alignment, the TuffCat can be used for
all types of ribbon and single splicing with an optimum arrangement for ease of use in trunk,
aerial or taut-sheath applications.
The TuffCat mass fusion splicer embodies Sumitomos mission of customer focused engineering
by reducing the customers overall cost of ownership. The unit features electrodes common with
both the Type-39 FastCat and the Type-25e TomCat splicers to reduce the customers inventory
cost, as well as simplifying the ordering process. The Type 66s fiber holders are compatible with
the Type-25e TomCat handheld splicers, as well as existing Sumitomo Type-61, 62, 63 and 65
fusion splicers.
