TREND Networks launches advanced FiberMASTER Fusion Splicer 

TREND Networks, a global leader in network testing solutions, has announced the launch of its cutting-edge FiberMASTER Fusion Splicer Series. The new S60 and S40 models deliver exceptional speed, precision, and reliability, providing fibre optic technicians and network installers with industry-leading tools designed to improve both performance and efficiency. 

The FiberMASTER S60 Fusion Splicer, featuring active core alignment technology, and the S40, with adaptive clad alignment, represent a significant leap forward in fusion splicing technology. Both models boast industry-leading repeatability with splice loss as low as 0.01dB, far exceeding ISO/EN/TIA standards and ensuring optimal network performance. The FiberMASTER S60 is optimised for trunk networks and high-volume splicing in telecom applications, while the S40 is ideal for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) installations and enterprise networks, providing tailored solutions for different types of fibre optic installations. 

In addition to cutting-edge splicing technology, the FiberMASTER Fusion Splicer series is packed with features to enhance user productivity and accuracy. Technicians can achieve splicing in as little as 6-7 seconds on average, with high-resolution touchscreen displays that simplify operations. A rugged design for use in challenging environments and an extended battery life supporting up to 280 splice/heat cycles per charge both reduce downtime, while data storage capacities allow for comprehensive record-keeping for up to 10,000 results and 100 images. 

Dan Barrera, Director of Product Innovation at TREND Networks, commented: “The FiberMASTER series embodies our commitment to innovation and quality. These splicers have been developed to meet the evolving needs of fibre technicians, offering superior performance, reliability, and user-friendly features. The S60 and S40 will significantly enhance productivity and precision in fibre optic installations across various sectors.”
