The SpliceXpert FiberFox MINI4S+ is a fully automatic fibre optic splicer for professional field use. Thanks to Digitalized Active Alignment (DAA), it aligns fibres precisely and achieves extremely low splice attenuation. A 4.3" colour LCD touchscreen, the LED injection system (without mirror) and the compact, robust design make the MINI4S+ the ideal companion for installations and service calls - fast, reliable and mobile.
