The demands for more specialized and sophisticated splicing equipment for use in industrial applications has increased rapidly. To match this, Ericsson releases a new series of fusion splicers for industrial use. The FSU 995 series has all the unique features needed to satisfy demanding requirements of specialized fiber splicing, such as PM splicing, Erbium splicing, and thin core splicing. The FSU995 series consists of two different splicers, each with its own unique features. The FSU 995 FA for standard factory applications including high strength splicing, and the FSU PM for splicing Polarization Maintaining fibers.
