Sumitomo Electric Launches TYPE-72C High Definition Core Aligning Fusion Splicer

Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. announces the release of its new high definition core aligning fusion splicer, the TYPE-72C.

Maintaining all industry-leading features of its predecessor, the TYPE-71C+, the TYPE-72C improves splicing performance and reliability and has a newly designed user interface. The TYPE-72C includes a smartphone-like high-resolution touch screen for user friendliness. In Quick Mode, the TYPE-72C reduces splicing and heat shrink time to 5 seconds and 9 seconds respectively. Its rugged frame enhances durability and improves shock resistance compared to early models. Equipped with wireless LAN connectivity,* the TYPE-72C accesses Sumitomo Electric's innovative SumiCloud™ services via a smart-phone App. With SumiCloud™, users enjoy a wide range of benefits including support tools, remote lock function and splice data management services, all for improved splicing productivity and secured asset management.

Sumitomo Electric has drawn on 30 years' experience in designing and producing this world-leading fusion splicer.
