FUJIKURA-70S, A MARVEL OF AUTOMATION

Talk of optic fibre and FTTH (Fibre-to-the-home) is dominating our lives these days. It’s on everyone’s lips, every billboard advertises it, and everyone wants it. The optic fibre market is booming and everyone wants to jump onto the bandwagon.

This is all great; however, it opens the door for many non-desirable products to hit our market and many uninformed newcomers fall into the "buy cheap, pay twice" trap.

Fujikura, a truly Japanese company, presents the Fujikura-70s. The 70S, which won the Global Fusion Splicers Customer Value Leadership award from Frost & Sullivan, is a marvel of engineering and represents the best of what the market has to offer in splicing machines. It features a programmable automated splicing and heater oven. This means it splices in 4 steps, compared to 9 steps for conventional splicers. It is also the fastest in its range, splicing in 6 seconds and heating in only 9 seconds.

These features are impressive; however, what makes the unit even more attractive is the fact that it is fully supported in Southern Africa and that all service and repairs are done locally at our accredited calibration laboratory in Ferndale, Randburg. ■
