Product Description
Designed with users in mind, the FITEL S179 Fusion Splicer delivers rapid splicing and heating ability with consistent results, splice after splice. A large-capacity battery system helps save time by allowing 200 splicing cycles (splicing/heating) in one charge.1 While a 4.3-inch wide LCD screen with touch panel offers easy and intuitive operation, a proportionately wide splicing chamber makes optical fiber easy to load. For improved visibility in low-light conditions, 3+1 LED lights illuminate the entire splicing chamber. A detachable, left-side V-groove makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. The S179 Fusion Splicer is also designed to meet the rigors of use in the field. While a substantially lower profile and lighter weight enhance portability, this splicer’s canopy design and ruggedized body provide resistance to shock, water and dust exposure. A powerful, high propulsion motor (8N) helps ensure stable splicing for the most rigid indoor and drop cables. Internal battery charging, embedded Near Field Communication (NFC) and Smartphone readiness combine with other features to make the S179 one of the most powerful and user-friendly fusion splicing machines available today.
1 In semi-auto splicing mode and regular heating mode
New Features
• Touch Screen: 4.3-inch wide LCD screen
• Illumination lamp: 3 upper + 1 lower LED
• Detachable V-groove: Easy maintenance and lens cleaning
• NFC: Lock and unlock splicer via smartphone (only for Android phone ver. 4.1 or after)
• WiFi Networking: Communication between splicer and smartphone
• High speed: 6 sec of splicing time and 9 sec of heating time
Under Tough Environments
• Shock Resistant: Equivalent to IK07 rating Mechanical impact2
• Drop Resistant: 76 cm drop tests from 5 different angles3 120 cm drop tests with hard carrying case3
• Water Resistant: Equivalent to IPX2 rating drip proof4
• Dust Resistant: Equivalent to IP5X rating dust proof5
2 IK07 rating Mechanical impact means that the machine protects against 2 jour impact, it is equivalent to 500g force from 40cm. This does not guarantee that the machine will always be undamaged under these conditions.
3 Standard operations could be carried out after conducting the above tests. These tests were performed at the Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. laboratories with no significant damage resulting. This does not guarantee that the machine will always be undamaged under these conditions.
4 IPX2 rating drip proof means that the machine can be exposed to 3 mm/min drips for 10 minutes with 15 degree tilt and still function.
5 IP5X rating dust proof means that the machine can be exposed to dust particles with a diameter of 0.1 µm to 25 µm and still function.
