Article summary

Fujikura’s 100S is a core-alignment, single-fiber fusion splicer. The manufacturer describes preparing and setting the opposing fibers together, with an embedded placement guide. AFL documents automated wind protection, heating, Splice Coach guidance and USB-C charging.

Industry relevance

Our assessment: evaluate the complete preparation routine, not a speed claim in isolation. A repeatable setup, compatible accessories and good service support can matter to crews handling pigtails, repairs and access-network work.

Fujikura publishes this model in its single-fiber core-alignment product line. This is an equipment overview, not a dated launch announcement.

No model-specific patent attribution is asserted in this overview. Product origin is grounded in the manufacturer documentation.

Fujikura’s official North America directory lists AFL Telecommunications; no other seller is recommended.

100S and 100R: the important distinction

The 100S specification sheet says single-fiber splicing. Dual fiber loading refers to preparing the opposing fiber ends; it does not establish simultaneous ribbon splicing. Fujikura’s 100R4, 100R12 and 100R16 are separate mass-fusion configurations.

Build a useful demonstration

  • Use your actual fibers and connector work. Confirm the required holders, cleaver, sleeves and selected splice modes.
  • Check whether the quoted kit includes the CT60 cleaver and which accessories require separate ordering.
  • Ask about calibration, consumables, result export and support. No independent splice-loss or time comparison was conducted.
