Fusion Splicers

Type-25eU/S/M Hand-Held Fusion Splicer

The new Type-25e TomCats incorporate all the features, functions and proven reliability of the Type-25 family—the industry's most popular handheld splicers for FTTx, premise, and restoration applications—but with numerous enhancements. The new TomCats feature improved optical technology utilizing your choice of an economical one camera system or an industry standard dual camera splice loss estimation system. The improved optical technology, combined with a quicker splice protection sleeve heater, allows the unit to deliver a typical splice time in less than 11 seconds for SMF or MMF.

These next generation TomCats continue with Sumitomo's mission of customer focused engineering by reducing the customer's overall cost of ownership. The units feature an internal battery charger and AC adapter to reduce equipment cost. They also utilize electrodes common with both the Type 39 and Type 66 to reduce customer's inventory cost as well as ordering frustrations. Improved battery technology allows the technician to perform 60 splices on a single battery charge. Included in the "full-featured distinction" of the TomCat splicers are adjustable front-to-back position monitors that allow the user to observe the fiber during the splicing process.

The units are also compatible with Sumitomo's new Lynx—CustomFit™ Splice-on Connector, which makes index matching gel, hand polishing, epoxies and splice trays obsolete. The Type-25e family features an improved fiber holder system to increase splice repeatability while making the units effortless to learn and operate.
