OREANDA-NEWS. Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has newly developed and started sales of the “S179” as the successor model to the “S178,” a direct core monitoring fusion splicer.

Furukawa are aiming to develop the use of this product in various fields including fiber lasers and optical parts manufacture, not just for applications connecting optical fiber for communications.

In workplaces where optical fiber connection is carried out, it is not only the basic characteristic of connecting optical fiber stably with low losses that is called for – things like the operability of the equipment, operating times and durability, etc. are also important factors.

The Company has strived towards product manufacture meeting all of these aims in a high dimension, and recently revised all of its designs to input new products aiming even higher.

This is a single core optical fiber-dedicated product type that directly inspects optical fiber cores to align the fibers with high precision so it can be used in various situations including main line to FTTH construction work and optical product manufacturing plants, etc.
