    Fusion splicer enable splicing of Fiber Optic Cable with low loss and high reliability. For fusion splicer, we offer two types: Core alignment fusion splicer, which bring high performance and functionality, and Cladding alignment fusion splicer, which are superior. Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. In Japan, we hold Fiber optic training where participants can systematically acquire knowledge and skills necessary for using fusion splicer, tools, and performing splicing work. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the. Fusion Splicers are specialized devices used to precisely join two optical fibers together. Its job is to join two fibers end-to-end by fusing them.
