When it comes to high-volume fiber splicing visual fault locator, you want to be able to operate quickly. The following are some of the current lineup of the fastest fusion splicers on the market and their associated splicing speeds:

Sumitomo Type-39:
Fiber Splicing Speed: 9 Seconds
Sleeve Heating Speed: 30 Seconds
Total Splice Time: 39 seconds

Fujikura FSM-60S:
Fiber Splicing Speed: 9 Seconds
Sleeve Heating Speed: 30 Seconds
Total Splice Time: 39 seconds

Fujikura FSM-50S:
Fiber Splicing Speed: 9 Seconds
Sleeve Heating Speed: 35 Seconds
Total Splice Time: 44 seconds

For those accustomed to old fusion splicer that take a minute or longer just to splice the fiber these models must be the subjects of their daydreams.

Let me know if I missed any of the other top models when it comes to high-speed fiber and fusion splicer!
