FUSION SPLICER
 |
The S177A handheld core alignment fusion splicer is designed for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and LAN installations, as well as trunk-line installations. The splicer incorporates a heating design that cuts splice-to-heat time by 40 %, and achieves a 9-second splice time and 37-second heat time. The unit’s T-shaped body weighs 4.85 lbs, and is ideal for fast field use. Its fiber magnification power is 608×, and an improved graphical user interface (GUI) facilitates operation. A transflective LCD screen provides a clear view of splicing operations in all conditions, from complete darkness to bright sunlight.
