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" drop test.

New features such as automatic tube heater operation, user­selectable 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.
