The Fitel S175 V.2000 is a core alignment fusion splicer engineered for precision splicing of diverse optical fiber types in field and factory environments. Direct core monitoring technology enables automated fiber analysis and program selection, streamlining operation across single-mode, multi-mode, and specialty fiber applications. The instrument delivers splice losses as low as 0.01 dB with reflection performance of -60 dB or lower, supported by real-time inspection of cleave angle, core eccentricity, offset, tilt, and micro-bending parameters.
