Fujikura 100S Fusion Splicer

The new Fujikura 100S core-alignment fusion splicer introduces dual-fiber support, allowing technicians to prep and load two fibers simultaneously. It also features Splice Coach, a built-in virtual mentor that provides real-time feedback on splicing techniques, helping technicians master new skills faster. Built-in GPS tracking and location-based locking ensure the splicer always stays secure and traceable. The CT60 Cleaver brings automation to blade management with its enhanced Auto Blade Adjustment system, now offering 28 positions for finer control. Its ergonomic design supports one-handed operation, and Bluetooth connectivity enables seamless integration with compatible Fujikura splicers.

“Today's fiber deployments require technicians to work faster without compromising splice quality," said Megha Garlapati, Product Line Manager at AFL. "The 100S and CT60 are the only splicers on the market with this level of intelligent automation. By automating manual adjustments, these tools let technicians focus on the splice, not the setup."

AFL, the trusted distributor of Fujikura splicers in North America, provides unmatched support with 24/7 availability, expert repair technicians, same-day turnaround and a comprehensive inventory of parts and consumables. Fujikura’s signature yellow transit cases are a familiar sight in data centers, trenches and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) installations worldwide, symbolizing decades of reliability and innovation.
