New Ribbon Fibre Fusion Splicer
TYPE-72M12+
- The T-72M12+, mass fusion splicer, is versatile and works well with a variety of ribbon fibres (up to 12)
- Enhanced ACAS helps align fibre properly on the high precision v-grooves, resulting in an impressive 60% reduction in fibre offset errors
- NanoTune™ utilises AI technology to reduce the need for splice reworks caused by insufficient fibre preparation
- Replaceable V-grooves allow for increased versatility required when splicing ribbon fibres
- Cleaning the splicer is now easier with patented special coatings on the V-grooves and microscope lenses
- The T-72M12+ comes with a complimentary work tray for added convenience
