Sumitomo Electric Lightwave, a manufacturer
of optical fiber and connectivity solutions,
is introducing the Quantum type-Q101-CA dual-
heater core alignment Fusion Splicer™, the first
splicer to be launched in its new Quantum
Splicer product line.
Having incorporated results from qualitative
end-user research and needs analyzes,
Sumitomo Electric’s Quantum Splicer has been
designed to address the needs of technicians
for easier and faster splicer functionality,
significantly expanded memory storage,
improved ruggedness, and optimum splicing
efficiencies in speed and performance.
Quantum fusion splicer has a fully functional
touch-screen interface, said to make splicer
function navigation more intuitive, faster,
and easier than traditional keypad interfaces.
Being small (4.72W x 6.06D x 4.96H inches)
and light (4.4lbs) the splicer can be easily
carried and used in the small, confined spaces
that characterize data center, FTTx and outside
plant work environments. Despite the small
footprint and light weight, the Quantum splicer
offers 640 x 320 fiber view and long electrode
life.
