Overview
The Sumitomo Electric Lightwave QULTRA-RBN AI-Powered Ribbon Fiber Splicer Kit is engineered for high-density optical networks and hyperscale data centers. This advanced fusion splicer features a modular, tool-free replaceable V-groove system, allowing technicians to efficiently transition between single fiber and ribbon splicing across 200µm and 250µm pitch environments.
Designed for both bench work and field deployments, the QULTRA-RBN incorporates NanoTune™ AI technology for automated fusion adjustments and an Enhanced-ACAS auto-clamping system to ensure consistent fiber alignment. The unit is built with a ruggedized, shock-resistant housing and includes dual independent heat-shrink ovens to maintain high-volume productivity in demanding network installation environments.
Key Features
-
NanoTune™ AI Technology
Automatically identifies optimal splicing conditions based on end-face analysis to improve splice quality and reduce re-work. -
Enhanced-ACAS Auto-Clamping
Adjusts clamping pressure and horizontal fiber movement automatically to ensure fibers seat correctly in V-grooves. -
Tool-Free V-Grooves
Allows rapid configuration changes for different fiber counts or pitches without requiring specialized tools. -
Dual Heat-Shrink Ovens
Independent heating elements enable high-volume productivity by processing multiple sleeves simultaneously. -
High-Resolution Touch Display
Features a 5.0-inch color touch screen LCD for clear visual feedback and simplified navigation of splicing parameters. -
Rugged Field Construction
Rated for shock resistance from 76 cm drops, IPx2 water resistance, and IP5x dust resistance for reliable performance on job sites. -
Efficient Battery Performance
Supports approximately 180 splice-and-heat cycles on a single charge to minimize downtime during long work shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the splicer compatible with 16-fiber ribbon?
Yes. The kit ships configured for 12-fiber, but can be upgraded to 16-fiber support using the SVG01-1625 or SVG01-1620 V-groove kits.
How many splices can the battery perform?
A full charge provides approximately 180 splice-and-heat cycles.
Are tools required to change the V-grooves?
No, the QULTRA-RBN uses a tool-free replaceable V-groove system.
What is the typical splice time?
Typical splice time is 11 seconds in Quick Mode and 14 seconds in Standard Mode.
Is this unit suitable for field use?
Yes, the unit features shock, water, and dust resistance, making it suitable for both field and bench environments.
