Ergonomic Design:
The S176 comes with a detatchable, wedge-shaped base that tilts the splicer forward for easy access to the splice chamber. It is designed specifically to reduce neck and back fatigue associaated with high frequency work. Also, the S176 offers “Reversible Operation”. The monitor of the splicer can be rotated up or down and the image flipped. This allows the operator to use the splicer from the front or back sides.

Short Cut Key:
You can program the Short Cut Key to call up any funstion in one step.

Protection Sleeve Heater:
The heater can accept micro-protection sleeves (20mm) along with conventional 40mm and 60mm sleeves. Also, you can order the unit without the heater. A cover plate replaces the heater, or an optional accessory can be fixed in its place.

Optional Fiber Holder System:
The fiber holders provide greater ease-of-use and consistency by allowing for precise positioning of the fiber durring stripping, cleaving, and splicing. You can order this feature pre-installation or as an aftermarket accessory.

Variety of Power Sources:
Either an AC/DC converter or battery can be inserted in the body without wiring. An external, large capacity battery is also available as well as a DC power adapter for car batteries and cigarette lighters.
