The Fujikura 12S is a single-fiber fusion splicer engineered for field deployment across diverse fiber types and network environments. It delivers typical splice losses of 0.018 dB to 0.05 dB on single-mode fiber and completes splicing in 15 seconds, with heating cycles in 30 seconds using standard protection sleeves. The unit combines dual-camera alignment with a 4.47-inch color LCD monitor at 100x magnification to ensure precise core positioning and loss estimation before and after the splice cycle.
