The best splicers offer core alignment, fast splice times, durable designs, and smart features like cloud syncing and automated calibration. For Mass fusion. Furukawa Electric and Lightera have introduced a new class of fusion splicer technology designed to support emerging optical fiber types, including hollow-core fibers (HCF) and multi-core fibers (MCF). The FITEL S185-ROF range of splicers offers rapid and precise rotational alignment for both multi-core and hollow core ecosystems, in a compact package. Simultaneous fiber prep with core alignment lets technicians load two fibers at once, reducing splice time. Along with precise core observation, ABM and AFC create a self-correcting splicing process that reduces rework, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistently low-loss results.
