Sumitomo TYPE-65

T-65 Fusion Splicer

The Type-65 sets a new standard for reduced size and weight, and is designed for complete portability. Type-65 can be used for all types of ribbon and single-fiber splicing with an optimum arrangement for ease of use in aerial and taut-sheath applications. The Type-65 features a user-friendly software package with on-screen operation instructions that help simplify training requirements. It is highly portable at 6.6 lbs., and offers the user splice visibility with the fibers being displayed at approximately 40X magnification. The fiber viewing system simultaneously focuses up to 12 fibers at a time and maintains equal resolution across all fibers for improved accuracy of splice loss estimations. During battery operation, the splicer allows more than 20 splices per battery charge including heater operation. The Type-65 typically requires 30 seconds to make an automatic fusion splice and the average splice loss for identical single mode fibers is 0.04 decibels (dB).
