FITEL S179+ Hand-Held Core Alignment Fusion Splicer Kit with S327 Cleaver

New Additions to the S179+

Automatic Cleave Compensation System (ACCS)

Cleave angles are critical to splice loss. The arc condition automatically adjusts when the relative cleave angle (θ) is high (between 2° and 5°), resulting in significantly lower splice loss.

(The average splice loss in specification isn’t guaranteed in case of high cleave angle. Recommended 2 degrees or less.)

Fluid Arc System (FAS)

Small changes in environmental factors and electrode condition can affect the arc and thus splicing results. With our Fluid Arc System (FAS), the S179+ monitors the arc discharge during every splice and calibrates the arc for improved and consistent results.

Improved Algorithm for Splice Loss Estimation

Our new algorithm for splice loss estimation is refined to improve the accuracy of estimated loss, especially in case of high splice loss caused by micro core bending.

Overview

The FITEL S179+ Hand-Held, Core Alignment Fusion Splicer offers powerful performance, delivering fast and reliable optical fiber splicing even under harsh environmental conditions. By combining speed, precision, durability, portability and state-of-the-art communication methods in one unit, this fusion splicing machine opens the door to an entirely new range of applications. The FITEL S179+ Fusion Splicer is highly effective for use in data centers, long- haul operations, Metro, LAN, and FTTx fiber, including ultra bend-insensitive fibers as well as large area effective fibers.

Designed with users in mind, the FITEL S179+ Fusion Splicer delivers rapid splicing and heating ability with consistent results, splice after splice. A large-capacity battery system helps save time by allowing 200 splicing cycles (splicing/heating) in one charge. While a 4.3-inch wide LCD screen with touch panel offers easy and intuitive operation, a proportionately wide splicing chamber makes optical fiber easy to load. For improved visibility in low-light conditions, 3+1 LED lights illuminate the entire splicing chamber. A detachable, left-side V-groove makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze.

The S179+ Fusion Splicer is also designed to meet the rigors of use in the field. While a substantially lower profile and lighter weight enhance portability, this splicer’s canopy design and ruggedised body provide resistance to shock, water and dust exposure. A powerful, high propulsion motor (8N) helps ensure stable splicing for the most rigid indoor and drop cables. Internal battery charging, embedded Near Field Communication (NFC) and Smartphone readiness combine with other features to make the S179 one of the most powerful and user-friendly fusion splicing machines available today.
