FITEL S179

Hand-Held, Core Alignment Fusion Splicer

The FITEL S179 Hand-Held, Core Alignment Fusion Splicer offers powerful performance, delivering fast and reliable optical fiber splicing even under harsh environmental conditions. By combining speed, precision, durability, portability and state-of-the-art communication methods in one unit, this fusion splicing machine opens the door to an entirely new range of applications. The FITEL S179 Fusion Splicer is completely suitable for use with all Metro, LAN and FTTx fibers, including ultra bend-insensitive fibers.

Designed with users in mind, the FITEL S179 Fusion Splicer delivers rapid splicing and heating 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 wide LCD screen with touch panel offers easy and intuitive operation, a proportionately wide splicing chamber makes optical fiber easier to load than previous and comparable splicers. 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 was 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 of even 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.

Product Features

Exceptional performance for fast and consistent fiber splicing
Enhanced ease of use and portability
High-speed splicing and heating²
Ruggedized body design
Easy, intuitive splicer operation
Compatible with Splice-On-Connectors (SOC)
State-of-the-art communication methods
Dust Resistant: Equivalent to IP5X rating dust proof⁶
Water Resistant: Equivalent to IPX2 rating drip proof⁵
Drop Resistant: 76 cm drop tests from 5 different angles⁴
Shock Resistant: Equivalent to IK07 rating Mechanical impact³

²High-speed splicing (6 seconds on semi-auto mode) and fast heating (9 seconds at power mode)

³IK07 rating Mechanical impact means that the machine protects against 2 joules of impact, it is equivalent to 500g force from 40cm. This does not guarantee that the machine will always be undamaged under these conditions.

⁴Standard 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.

⁵IPX2 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.

⁶IP5X rating dustproof means that the machine can be exposed to dust particles with a diameter of 0.1 μm to 25 μm and still function.
