SUMITOMO S1V Splicing Machine – High-Precision Fiber Splicing Redefined
The SUMITOMO S1V Splicing Machine is a next-generation fiber optic fusion splicer developed by Sumitomo Electric, a renowned name in fiber optic innovation. Engineered with state-of-the-art core alignment technology, this splicing machine delivers unmatched performance, accuracy, and reliability, making it ideal for professional fiber optic installations across telecommunications, broadband, and enterprise networks.
Whether you are building FTTH (Fiber to the Home) infrastructure or working on a high-capacity backbone network, the SUMITOMO S1V ensures exceptional splicing quality, speed, and ease of use — all packaged in a compact and rugged device that thrives in field conditions.
Superior Core Alignment Technology
The S1V features advanced active core alignment, which allows for precise positioning of fiber cores before fusion. This technology ensures ultra-low splice loss, typically less than 0.02 dB for single-mode fibers, maintaining signal integrity and transmission performance over long distances.
It automatically compensates for misalignment, fiber curvature, and environmental fluctuations, making it highly efficient for both seasoned technicians and beginners.
Fast and Efficient Splicing
With an impressive splicing time of just 6 seconds and heating time of 9 seconds, the S1V is one of the fastest fusion splicers in its class. This allows technicians to complete jobs more efficiently, saving both time and labor costs — a significant advantage for large-scale fiber deployment projects.
The auto-start function for splicing and heat-shrinking further streamlines the workflow, improving productivity in the field.
Intuitive User Interface and Touchscreen Display
Equipped with a high-resolution 5-inch color LCD touchscreen, the SUMITOMO S1V offers a highly intuitive graphical user interface. It supports multiple languages and provides clear, real-time views of the splicing process. Navigation is smooth and user-friendly, even for operators with minimal training.
The software includes features like auto fiber type detection, splice loss estimation, and automatic arc calibration, ensuring consistently high performance with minimal manual adjustments.
Built for Field Durability
The SUMITOMO S1V is designed to withstand rugged outdoor environments. It features a shock-resistant, dustproof, and water-resistant body, making it ideal for all-weather fieldwork. Despite its robustness, it is lightweight and compact, allowing for easy portability in a backpack or equipment case.
Its long-lasting battery supports up to 300 splice and heat cycles per charge, enabling uninterrupted operation throughout the day.
