Fujikura Europe, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fibre optic cables and equipment, has launched two new fusion splicers, the 19S and the 19R, to complete its line-up of new field splicer solutions. The 19S and the 19R will be previewed for the first time in London at ECOC 2013 on September 23-25. <\/p>\n
The 19S has been developed to be a lower cost alternative to the bestselling 70S fusion splicer which was launched earlier this year, and features a shrink time of only 14 seconds. It is fully ruggedised for resisting shock, dust and moisture and has a fixed v-groove, which follows the previous successful design. The design also streamlines the steps required to complete splices, resulting in greater productivity. <\/p>\n
The features include an automatic and fully programmable wind protector, a multi-function transit case with integrated workstation and a sheath clamp for fibre holder operation.<\/p>\n
It also contains a powerful Lithium-ion battery, capable of up to 180 splices\/shrinks. Like their other splicers, built-in videos are provided for on-the-go training, and this is something successful and unique to Fujikura.<\/p>\n
\u201cFujikura Europe prides itself on delivering quality, reliable splicing products to the market. These products add even more options for our customers. The 19S is a similar but a lower cost alternative to our 70S so enables those with a smaller budget to be able to buy and use our revolutionary products while still getting better splicing times,\u201d said Neil Bessant, Fusion Splicer Divisional Director at Fujikura Europe.<\/p>\n
Alongside the 19S, Fujikura Europe will also launch the 19R at ECOC 2013. The 19R is a four-fibre ribbon fusion splicer and as well as the 19S, benefits from a new design which streamlines the steps required to complete splices, resulting in greater productivity. The 19R also has a wind protector, along with a 40-second tube heater and a high capacity Lithium ion battery pack which can manage 110 splices\/shrinks.<\/p>\n
Mr Bessant added, \u201cContinuously improving these products is important to us as a company so that we can meet the engineer\u2019s needs and expectations. We are lucky in that we have a great and vastly knowledgeable team working on these new products, and that is why we are one of the leaders in this market.\u201d<\/p>\n
