Description:
Sumitomo’s TomCat splicers are the industry’s first “full-featured” hand-held fiber splicers offering both the agility and the robustness required for FTTx, premise, and optical component assembly applications. Easy-to-use, easy-to-learn, these portable battery-operated splicers reduce training time for efficient deployments—making fusion splicing the choice for both optimum reliability and affordability.
Included in the “full-featured” distinction of the TomCat splicers are adjustable position monitors that allow the user to observe the fiber during the splicing process. Their front-to-back workflow makes the splicers ideal when limited fiber slack is available, in aerial taut-sheath applications, and for component testing. Sumitomo’s fiber holder system facilitates quick and easy fiber preparation and placement.
The splicers’ small footprints maximize workspace and enable precision splicing at a close proximity to the splice point for optimal flexibility. All TomCat units are optimized for both single-mode and multimode fibers and are manufactured with the same Sumitomo commitment to quality and reliability.
