Type-25eU/S/M
Hand-Held
Fusion Splicer
Description:
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
other Sumitomo fusion splicers to reduce
customers’ 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 Lynx2 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.
