FSM-18S Fusion Splicer
The FSM-18S Fusion Splicer is a low cost, fixed V-groove, single fiber fusion
splicer with the same robust features offered in other high end models. The new
rugged construction adds improved reliability by resisting shock, dust, and
rain, and withstands a 30€ť drop test.
New features such as automatic tube heater operation, user-selectable
clamping method (sheath clamp or fiber holder system), automated monitor image
orientation, and battery charge capability during splicer operation provide the
end user a reliable productivity tool. New software is included with each
splicer and provides the user with the ability to download splice data to a PC
for splice data reporting, download splicer operating software via the internet
to maintain peak performance, and download video images from the splicer to
enhance technical support.
