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 field by 70%.
