S178A
Hand-Held Core-Alignment Fusion Splicer
Although the S178A is significantly smaller and lighter in weight
than previous models, its canopy design, durable metal body
frame and rubber protection corners provide robust protection.
This enables use in demanding environments without compro-
mising splicing performance. Along with its rugged durability,
the splicer also offers convenience. An internal battery system
allows up to 200 splicing cycles (splicing/heating) and an innova-
tive, mirror-free alignment system reduces maintenance work.
The S178A is a versatile choice for a wide range of applications
including FTTx, LAN, backbone, enterprise, long-haul installa-
tions, data-center and OEM. It is an excellent option for use in
the conventional telecommunications industry, along with other
industries (including oil and gas and outside broadcast).

Features and applications
The S178A Hand-Held Core-Alignment Fusion Splicer has been
enhanced and updated to version 2. The battery is automatically
charged internally when connected to AC mains power even
during operation. The new illumination lamp lights up a wide area
around the V-grooves and helps operation in low light environ-
ment. The redesigned and strengthened heater simplifies the
protection sleeve loading process.
The S178A is fast and durable, it continues the FITEL tradition of quality and excellence by deliver-
ing precise and accurate splices even under rigorous field conditions.
The S178A is equipped with a core alignment system that can complete a splice in 7 seconds (semi-
auto mode) and an integrated heater which can shrink a protection sleeve in 25 seconds (pre-heat
mode). The USB 2.0 mini interface speeds up PC communication and image / video transfer, whilst
enhancing reliability.
