The document describes the FSM-60S single fiber arc fusion splicer. It is compact and lightweight, measuring 136x161x143mm and weighing 2.3kg with its AC adapter. It features shock, dust, and rain resistance. It aligns fibers using PAS core alignment technology and has a battery that allows 160 splice/heat cycles per charge. Its compact size, ruggedness, and reliable splicing performance make it suitable for field fiber optic splicing.
