The Fujikura FSM-60R is an arc fusion splicer engineered for high-precision splicing of ribbon fiber optic cables with up to 12 fibers per ribbon. The system delivers exceptional performance across single-mode, multimode, and specialty fiber types through automated cladding alignment, real-time arc calibration, and dual-camera monitoring. Typical splice losses measure 0.05 dB for single-mode, 0.02 dB for multimode, and 0.08 dB for dispersion-shifted and non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers, with completion times as fast as 9 seconds. Return loss exceeds 60 dB across all configurations.
