T-66 M12 Tuffcat Ribbon Fiber  Splicer  

TuffCat can be used for all types of ribbon and single splicing with an optimum arrangement for ease of use in trunk, aerial, or taut-sheath applications.

The Type-66 TuffCat mass fusion splicer features the industry's first Dual-Automatic-Splice Protection Sleeve Heater System - Sumitomo's exclusive patent-pending system. The dual heater system's simultaneous operation helps to eliminate squandered time waiting for a single heater system to complete its cycle. Instead, the streamlined splicing process reduces the bottle neck of "heater wait time" by 88%, improving mass splicing efficiency and productivity in the fiel by 70%.
