Seamless Splicing from Trunk to FTTx

The FITEL S177A ushers in a whole new range of applications for core-alignment splicing: It delivers the same precision, accuracy, and automated functionality of a conventional core-alignment unit, but with the speed, portability, and covenience of a hand-held splicer. The S177A becomes your versatile best choice for FTTx, LAN, backbone, or long-haul installations.

Compact, lightweight body

At nearly half the weight and size of FITEL’s standard core-alignment unit, the S177A weighs only 2.2 kgs (4.85 pounds) - making it the first hand-held and most compact, lightweight core-aligning splicer in the industry. The T-shaped body design, measuring just 5 inches across, easily accommodates short fiber lengths. The magnesium alloy canopy and top base provide the rugged strength required for field operations. Highly accurate, it easily handles diverse applications - from trunk splicing to FTTx.

New GUI & LCD Screen

Featuring a new GUI (graphical user interface) and transreflective LCD screen technology, the S177A operation is a snap! Function keys are simple and information displays are crisp and clear even in direct sunlight. The LCD display shows the splicing process with simultaneous X and Y views. Fiber magnification is the highest available in the industry - 608X, and over 200 percent stronger then FITEL’s previous model, the S176
