Tumtec V3 Fiber Optic Fusion Splicer
The Tumtec V3 is a single-fiber fusion splicer for installing and repairing optical-fiber links. Its source-listed configuration includes a 4.3-inch touchscreen, 400X fiber view, 6-second SM fast splice mode and a 5200mAh battery rated for about 400 splice-and-heat cycles.
Where the V3 fits
For distributors supplying field technicians, network contractors and fiber maintenance teams, the V3 combines splicing, sleeve heating and field-oriented controls in one portable platform. Check the fiber construction, coating diameter and operating environment against the specification table before quoting it for a project.
Key features for field teams
- Supports single-fiber splicing for SM, MM, DS, NZ/NZDS and BI fiber types listed in the supplied specification sheet.
- 41 preset splice modes, with capacity to store up to 100 modes; five preset sleeve lengths from 20 to 60 mm, with up to 100 heating modes.
- Three white work lights, a 90-degree bi-directional display and a detachable multi-function fiber clamp.
- Automatic arc calibration based on air pressure and temperature; control by buttons or touchscreen.
- Typical battery rating: approximately 400 splice-and-heat cycles per charge, as stated in the supplied sheet.

B2B buying checklist
- Confirm the fiber types and cable construction used in your projects, including whether indoor cable is within the stated 0.25–3.0 mm range.
- Match the heat-shrink sleeve length to the 20–60 mm heater capability.
- Ask for the current included-accessory list and confirm any optional CFS-2 or WX-1101 strippers, holders and battery configuration before purchase.
- For distributor orders, confirm firmware/version, warranty terms, training materials, spare electrodes and service route on the quotation.
