Fujikura : FSM-30R

Description: The new Fujikura FSM-30R12 brings a new level of productivity and capability to mass fusion splicing. The well proven and market leading mass fusion splicing technology of previous Fujikura mass splicers is now provided in an extremely small and light weight mini-splicer. Improved immunity to ambient conditions and slide-in modular powering units (including battery) provide unprecedented mass fusion splicing capability in remote and outdoor splicing locations. The FSM-30R12 takes mass fusion splicing productivity to a new plateau with 12 fiber splicing time cut to one third that of previous generation mass splicers. The tube heater for heat shrink splice protection sleeves is twice as fast as the previous generation. The FSM-30R12 is the ideal mass fusion splicer for any application.

This system has the following features:

• Best mass fusion splice loss performance in the industry, including splicing non-zero dispersion-shifted (NZ-DS) fibers

• Maximum productivity with much faster splicing than previous mass fusion splicer: 30 second splicing time

• New wind protector design withstands 30mph cross wind

• Unprecedented utility in exposed conditions

• Splices up to 12 fibers simultaneously

• Ultra small and lightweight design; ideal for remote/outdoor splicing scenarios

• Built-in programmable tube heater

• Slide in power modules include AC adapter, battery, or camcorder battery adapter

• Automatically adjusts fusion arc to compensate for cold temperatures, as well as differences in atmospheric pressure

• Simultaneous focus on all 12 fibers and large image magnification on a low glare 5" color LCD monitor provides great fiber visibility

• Great mass fusion splicer capacity under battery power
