Furukawa FITEL S178A Hand-Held Core-Alignment Fusion Splicer


Although the S178A Fusion Splicer is significantly smaller and lighter in weight than previous models, its canopy design, durable metal body frame and rubber protection corners provide robust protection, enabling use in demanding environments without compromising splicing performance. Along with its rugged durability, the splicer also offers convenience. A new battery system allows up to 200 splicing cycles (Splicing/heating) before additional batteries are needed, and an innovative, mirror-free alignment system makes maintenance work a snap.

Key features
• Rugged and compact handheld design endure harsh environmental conditions
• Fast splice (7 sec) at super low loss and Fast Heating (25 sec)
• 200 cycles (Splicing & Heating) with new battery configuration
• Available for All METRO/LAN/FTTx fibers including ultra bend-insensitive fibers (e.g. EZ-Bend™)
• Splicer is compatible with the Seikoh Giken and Diamond Spliceon- connector (SOC)
• Easy maintenance - Easy electrode replacement /mirror free alignment System
• Easy Software upgrade via the internet
• Easily exchanged fiber holder systems (tight holder/fiber holder/SOC holder)
• PC interface software to allow user manage splicing recipes and splicing results
• Auto-start shrink sleeve oven feature
• Improved GUI to further enhance ease-of-use
• Large memory for storing data (2,000 splice data) and image (100 images)
• RoHS compliant
