The FSM-18S Fusion Splicer is a low cost solution with high end robust features.

The FSM-18S Fusion Splicer is a low cost, fixed V-groove, 2-axis cladding alignment, single fiber fusion splicer with the same robust features offered in other high end models. The new rugged construction adds improved reliability by resisting shock, dust, and rain, and withstands a 30” drop test.

New features such as automatic tube heater operation, user-selectable clamping method, automated monitor image orientation, and battery charge capability improve its reliability. New software provides the ability to download splice data to a PC for splice data reporting, download splicer operating software via the internet to maintain peak performance, and download video images from the splicer to enhance technical support.

Package includes: CT30A Cleaver, ADC-13 AC Adapter, ACC-14 AC Cord, Spare Electrodes (pair), Sheath Clamp, Splicer Carrying Strap, Quick Reference Guide, Video Instruction Manual, JP-05 Splice Sleeve Cooling Tray and Transit Case with Carrying Strap.
