The Fujikura 41S+ is a core alignment fusion splicer designed for single-mode and multimode optical fibers in field and laboratory environments. It delivers low splice loss through Profile Alignment System (PAS) technology, automated splicing cycles, and integrated protection mechanisms. The unit stores up to 10,000 splice records and communicates via Bluetooth for remote operation and data logging.
