The FSM-18R Fusion Splicer is a 4-fiber ribbon splicer with similar versatility and robust nature of the Fujikura 12-fiber ribbon splicer. Well-suited for FTTx or LAN applications, the FSM-18R fusion splicer can splice up to 4 fibers, as well as, single fibers. The enhanced robust features provide resistance to shock, dust, and rain to minimize downtime and improve operational performance and withstands a 30” drop test.

Automated features such as auto-start splicing, auto-start tube heater operation, automatic ribbon fiber identification, and auto-arc calibration reduce operational steps and improve splicing performance. Additional improvements include automatic image orientation when switching the dual position monitor, a large capacity battery option and the ability to charge the battery during splicer operation.

New software included with each splicer provides 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.
