The S123M Series Hand-Held Ribbon fibre Fusion Splicers have been enhanced and updated to version 2. The battery is automatically charged internally when connected to AC mains power even during operation. The new illumination lamp lights up a wide area around the V-grooves and helps operation in low light environment. The redesigned and strengthened heater simplifies the protection sleeve loading process.
With their low profile design and light weight bodies the S123M series offer not only ribbon fibre splicing but also single fibre splicing with outstanding mobility and extreme ease-of-use. In addition, the rugged body is designed to endure harsh operating conditions by improving shock/impact resistance with rubber pads embedded on 4 corners of the splicer body. It achieves water resistance compliant IPX2 and dust resistance compliant IP5X.

*1 - The first heating after turning on the power can be longer than usual heating time. *2 - The number of the splicing and heating the machine can produce using a full charged battery at room temperature of 20°C, semi-auto mode for splicing and regular mode for heating. Depending on the condition of the battery and the operation environment, the number can vary |
We have a range of fibre holders that can be equipped with the S123M series to handle most of your splicing needs.
No matter how many fibres you need to splice; we have the holders for them.
Our S218R and S218H are the perfect thermal fibre strippers to have in your tool kit when carrying an S123M splicer.
There are a variety of product accessories we have that compliment our splicers and allow you to be more equipped for any situation.
