Sumitomo Electric Lightwave launches new fusion splicer, plus high-density data center module, at BICSI Winter 2017

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave (SEL) has launched a pair of new products at the 2017 BICSI Winter Conference (Jan. 22-26) in Tampa, FL.

Firstly, as the latest addition to the company's Quantum Fusion Splicer line, the Q102-CA core alignment fusion splicer features a rapid 5-second splice time. Patented dual independent ovens and a new “smart-phone like” user interface are key features of the new splicer. The Q102-CA will be available for demonstration during BICSI exhibition hours.

Also at the show, as a complement to its PrecisionFlex Patch Panel portfolio, SEL will release its 864F Field Transition Module for high density data center applications. The company claims the new transition module "achieves the highest density of LC connections per rack in the industry – 288 LC connections per 2 rack unit."

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave is exhibiting this week at BICSI booth #343. For more information, visit www.bicsi.org.
