As a direct result of new manufacturing and sourcing efficiencies, AFL says it now can offer more attractive pricing on the Fujikura 12S fusion splicer. Among the smallest and lightest fusion splicers in the world, the Fujikura 12S is now available to customers starting at less than $3,000, said AFL in press release.
The Fujikura 12S weighs less than 2 pounds with a 6” x 5” footprint. The splicer's ruggedized chassis features shock, dust and moisture protection, while its two-camera observation system provides accurate fiber alignment and loss estimation calculations.
The unit's transit case also serves as a workstation when needed. Software updates are accomplished via the Internet, allowing users to quickly and conveniently update their software as new splice programs become available.
“As the pioneer and world leader in fusion splicing technology, Fujikura splicers are well-known for superior quality and reliability,” says Greg Pickeral, product manager for AFL’s fusion splicing systems. “This announcement is exciting because it makes the proven quality of Fujikura available to a wider audience. Something that may not have been attainable in the past, is now.”
AFL operates the only authorized repair facility for Fujikura splicing products in the U.S. Technical support is available 24/7. Complimentary on-site training is available with every splicer purchased.
