OFS Fitel S178A

The S178A hand held core alignment fusion splicer has been enhanced and updated to version 2. The battery is automatically charged internally when connected to AC main power even during operations. The new illumination lamp lights up a wide area around the V-Grooves and helps operation in low light environment. The redesigned strengthened heater simplifies the protection sleeve loading process.

The S178A is equipped with a core alignment system that can completed a splice in 7 seconds and an integrated heater which can shrink a protection sleeve in 25 seconds. The USB 2.0 mini interface speeds up PC communication and image / Video transfer while enhancing reliability. 

Although the S178A is significantly smaller and lighter in weight than the previous models, its canopy design, durable metal body frame and rubber protection corners provide robust protection. This enables use in demanding environments without compromising splicing performance. Along with its rugged durability, the splicer also offers convenience. An internally battery system allows up to 200 splicing cycles. And an innovative, mirror free alignment system reduces maintenance work.

The S178A is a versatile choice for a wide range of applications including FTTx, LAN, backbone, enterprise, long haul installations, data centre and OWM. It is an excellent option for use in the conventional telecommunications industry, along with other industries.
