Short cleave length capability
For minimizing the length of stripped fiber at splice point, FSM-100 series can splice
a short cleave length fiber.
Enhanced sweep arc
Increased travel range for sweep arc provides improved MFD matching capability and the ability for reshaping non-circular fibers in preparation for splicing.
Fiber profile learning function
The splicer learns the fiber profile with the best focusing position in order to observe the core position accurately.
After learning, the focusing time during a splice will be short.
Dual PM alignment（FSM-100P Only）
To properly align and splice the ever increasing and technically challenging variety of PM fibers, Fujikura
developed IPA which is a new alignment technology. The FSM-100P includes both traditional PAS
alignment as well as the new IPA technology, and it provides users with the most comprehensive
capabilities on the market for splicing PM fiber. IPA also enables accurate PER estimation for all PM fiber
types.
Special arc calibration
This calibration technology facilitates an easy transfer of high end splicing
applications from R&D to production by ensuring consistent performance and
takes full advantage of Plasma Zone capabilities.
Dual splice loss estimation
Combining the best features of both cold and warm splice imaging, FSM-100
series offer unprecedented accuracy for splice loss estimation.

Internet firmware update & interface
An industry first! Customers can now upgrade firmware as new capabilities
become available from Fujikura. Upgrading is as simple as connecting a USB cable
to your splicer.
Production enviroment friendly design
A low profile design that eliminates fiber catch points, the dimensions of both
splicers are consistent with the most popular production splicing work-benches in
use today.
Zero degree fiber holder position – For splicing LDF fibers with minimal core angle,
the fiber holders are horizontally positioned relative to the v-grooves.
