The Fitel S199s is a core alignment fusion splicer engineered for high-precision splicing of single-mode, multimode, dispersion-shifted, and non-dispersion-shifted optical fibers in field and laboratory environments. The platform delivers consistently low splice loss across fiber types while supporting single fibers and multi-fiber ribbon configurations up to 24 fibers, making it suitable for both traditional and ultra bend-insensitive fiber applications.
