Fusion Splicers and Accessories

The Quantum Type-Q101-CA marks  the new standard for fusion splicers.  It is the industry’s first and ONLY fusion splicer with: fully navigational touch screen interface for optimum user friendliness; SD port for virtually unlimited data storage, plus work-related video, audio, and software uploads/downloads; remote maintenance capability; the largest fiber view;  and the longest electrode life—with  the legendary reliability common to  all Sumitomo splicers.

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave introduces its new FC-6RM-C, the ONLY automatic blade rotation cleaver for high volume 1 to 12 fibers and FC-6RS for single fibers. Both units feature Sumitomo’s patent pending auto blade rotation technology that eliminates the time consuming and error prone process of height and blade rotation adjustments, thereby increasing user friendliness, speed, precision, productivity, and the extension of the cleaver’s maximum product life.

The Type-66 TuffCat Mass fusion splicer features the industry's first Dual-Automatic-Splice Protection Sleeve Heater System - Sumitomo's exclusive patent-pending system. The dual heater system's simultaneous operation helps to eliminate squandered time waiting for a single heater system to complete its cycle. Instead, the streamlined splicing process reduces the bottle neck of "heater wait time" by 88%, improving mass splicing effciency and productivity in the field by 70%.

Customized field terminations are now made possible with the next generation Lynx2 CustomFit® Splice-on Connector by Sumitomo. The Lynx2 is a fully integratable splice-on fiber optic connector enabling quick, easy, and reliable customized FTTx, outside-plant, and inside-plant permanent field terminations. The splice-on connector is ideal also for central office, fiber hub/pedestal, and data center applications. The latest design of the Lynx2 features a fast and easy to use screw-on collar to secure the Kevlar and jacket, eliminating the crimping process and the use of high priced crimping tools.

Sumitomo’s Lynx2–MPO is the industry’s first MPO fusion splice-on field installable connector for customized, on-site, terminations. The breakthrough technology of the Lynx2–MPO meets the needs of the network for greater optical fiber density and addresses the connectivity demands for faster and easier terminations, upgrades, repairs and restorations, and significant cost savings required for today’s data center, enterprise network, outside plant, OEM, central office, and virtually any FTTx network application.

The Lynx2–MPO CustomFit® Splice-On Connector, an industry first innovation by Sumitomo Electric, is a revolutionary solution for customized, on-site cable builds and terminations with the speed and performance required for the bandwidth-rich and high density demands of today’s networks. With the Lynx2–MPO, eliminate the risk of shorts & slack and the logistic delays of preterminated cables; make obsolete the need for splice trays; reduce congestion in rack or cabinet space; and save significant time and costs in material and labor associated with other connectivity methods.

The new Type-25e TomCats incorporate all the features, functions, and proven reliability of the Type-25 family—the industry’s most popular handheld splicers for FTTx,premise, and restoration applications—but with numerous enhancements. The new TomCats feature improved optical technology utilizing your choice of an economical one camera system or anindustry standard dual camera splice loss estimation system. The improved optical technology, combined with a quicker splice protection sleeve heater, allows the unit to deliver a typical splice time in less than 11 seconds for SMF or MMF.

The Type-25e DTS Hand-Held Fusion Splicer is specifically designed for tactical optical fiber cable applications. It is the perfect solution for remote site and mobile network applications because it meets the needs and requirements for super fast and easy repairs and restorations in the field where tactical fiber optic cable damage is potentially more prevalent. Therefore, this splicer has been designed specifically forthe network applications of the military, broadcasting, and other sectors for which mission critical speed, reliability, and performance are paramount.
