The NINJA splicer offers several features for FTTH network splicing that differentiate the product, according to Furukawa:

  • The industry's first detachable V-groove
  • A wider splicing chamber
  • Improved splicing chamber visibility; three LED lights illuminate the entire splicing chamber with more than 300 Lux
  • A lens protection cover
  • A removable heater bracket.

With fusion splice-on connectors gaining acceptance as a way to field terminate cables, the NINJA splicer is compatible with fusion splice-on field installable connectors from a wide variety of manufacturers. The NINJA's large battery capacity allows 100 splicing and heating cycles in one charge.
