The Fujikura FSM-20RS is an arc fusion splicer designed for precise splicing of single-mode and multimode optical fibers in field environments. Equipped with Profile Alignment System (PAS) technology, it automatically aligns fiber cores or cladding and performs fusion splicing with integrated loss estimation. The splicer’s microprocessor-driven architecture delivers consistent results across SM, MM, DSF, and graded-index fiber types, achieving splice losses as low as 0.02 dB on GI fibers and 0.03 dB on SMF.

## Key Features
• Fully automated fiber alignment, fusion, and loss estimation via internal microprocessor
• High-intensity halogen inspection lamp for enhanced visibility during operation
• Built-in tube heater for splice protective sleeve installation
• Compact, ruggedized construction suitable for field deployment
• Ribbon fiber splicing capability — select models support up to 12-fiber ribbon splices
• Fast heating time for improved workflow efficiency
## Typical Applications
• Telecom and data center fiber network installation and maintenance
• Field splicing of long-haul and metro optical cable systems
