‘Engineered to last’
splicing technology from Fujikura
Europe remains superior
The world’s first fully automatic fusion splicer provides great ROI for customers
and an increased productivity via reduced splice cycles, says Fujikura Europe.
F
ujikura Europe’s 70S
is still the highest
quality product of its
kind. As the world’s
first fully automatic
fusion splicer, the 70S provides
great ROI for customers and
an increased productivity via
reduced splice cycles.
Not only is the 70S the most
ergonomic, fastest and durable
technology of its kind, but its
longevity has proved it is “built
to last”, meaning that customers
could still be using the same 70S
they purchase today more than 10
years from now.
It only requires four operational
steps per splice and reduces
splicing time to just six seconds.
The 70S is also the only machine
to withstand drop testing on all six
sides from a height of 70cm.
Neil Bessant, fusion splicer
divisional manager at Fujikura
Europe, says: “As more and more
of our competitors begin to claim
that their technology matches
ours, the more testing we have
done to prove there isn’t any
product that can match the
70S in terms of quality,
performance and longevity.
“Creating technology of
this calibre requires a specific
knowledge and expertise, and
we are the original pioneers,
with 40 years’ worth of
experience in research &
development and eight
generations of splicing
machines to boast.”

performance, user customisable
features, and its fully ruggedized
exterior, which is dust, shock
and rain resistant. The 70S also
features an automated wind
protector and a tube heater which
has been developed for quicker
splicing cycles and to reduce the
number of operational steps.
“Our 40 years’ experience has
allowed us to create a technology
that is far superior to anything on
the market and to optimise this
splicing tool to be reliable and
accurate, achieving a high quality
splice, which will help minimise
the need for “re-work” or repairs/
maintenance on any fibre network
spliced with a Fujikura splicer.
“Ultimately, this is why you
pay more for a Fujikura splicer.
You are paying for a product that
could last you more than ten
years and a product that creates
the best splice possible. There
really is no comparison.”
With the 70S, Fujikura Europe
has streamlined the steps required
to complete splices, resulting in
greater productivity.
Mr Bessant says: “The 70S
only takes six seconds to make a
splice and nine seconds to make
heat shrink. These, combined with
the other automated features,
make the product altogether the
fastest splicing technology, by 25
per cent no less.”
The ‘configurable automation’
design of the 70S allows
customers to tailor the operation
of the machine to best suit their
particular splicing technique and
process while the programmable
‘automatic wind protector’
closes and begins the splicing
process after clamping the
fibres in position or pressing the
‘set’ button. Once the splice is
completed, the wind protector and
one of the sheath clamps opens
automatically making removal of
the fibres fast and easy.
Fujikura’s 70S is fully
supported by trained local
distributors throughout EU,
creating the “Fujikura Experience”
and ensuring all customers get
more for their money than they
could with any other splicer.
