- Manufacturer: Sumitomo Electric Industries
- Category: Fiber Optic Fusion Splicers / Telecommunications Equipment
- Core Technologies: NanoTune™ AI Splicing, SumiCloud™ IoT Connectivity
Key Features & Highlights
- AI-Powered NanoTune™ Technology: Leverages real-time AI algorithms to analyze and splice imperfectly cleaved fiber edges, achieving a successful splice rate of over 90% without requiring constant recutting.
- Ultra-Fast Performance: Typical splice time of 5 seconds for Single Mode Fiber (SMF) and a rapid 8-second heating time for 60mm protection sleeves.
- Dual Automatic Heating Ovens: Independent dual patented heat-shrink ovens significantly increase productivity by allowing simultaneous sleeve heating.
- SumiCloud™ IoT Capability: Cloud-based data management and preventive maintenance alerts keep track of splicer condition to prevent unexpected downtime.
- Extended Battery Capacity: High-capacity battery powers up to 320 splice and heat cycles on a single charge, with support for simultaneous splicing while charging.
- Ruggedized Field Design: Built to withstand harsh environments with IP52 dust and water resistance, along with drop protection from 76 cm on 5 faces.
- User-Friendly Interface: Features a 5.0-inch WVGA color LCD touchscreen display with smartphone-like multi-touch navigation and onboard help videos.
