Who it is for

ISPs, FTTH contractors, cable TV operators and enterprise fibre installers who splice regularly and want a larger screen and longer battery life.

Image storage for reporting

Saved splice images help teams document work for clients and supervisors, and make it easier to review problem splices later.

Getting low-loss splices

1. Strip and clean the fibre with alcohol and lint-free wipes.
2. Cleave with a precision cleaver and avoid touching the end face.
3. Splice, check the loss estimate, and re-do any joint that reads high.
4. Protect each splice with a heat-shrink sleeve using the right heater mode.

Maintenance

Clean V-grooves and the camera lenses regularly, track electrode usage and replace electrodes before they cause high loss.

Choosing a Tumtec splicer

The FST-17H suits budget FTTx work, the FST-18S adds screen and battery capacity, and the V9 mini core-to-core model targets backbone links needing the lowest loss.
