Fujikura 62S SM MM Core Alignment Fiber Fusion Splicer

The Fujikura 62S is a core alignment fusion splicer for single-mode and multimode optical fibers. It employs Profile Alignment System (PAS) technology with dual-axis CMOS camera observation to deliver automatic core-to-core alignment, consistent low splice loss, and accurate loss estimation across fiber types. Field and laboratory deployments benefit from real-time arc calibration, programmable splice and heating modes, and heritage-proven electrode performance.
