Text7: UCL Swift Fusion Splicer
Text8: UCL Swift - Swift K33A Kit (5ea) and Swift KF4A Kit (5ea)
Text9: UCL Swift is the only manufacturer that makes an all in one system/unit for stripping, cleaning, cleaving, splicing, and protecting. This provides a single system in a complete package to conduct all required functions saving time and and more cost effective to the end-user.
Text10: Similar products from other manufacturers are only available as separate pieces to complete the multiple roles the fusion splicers complete. This potentially adds additional costs, more parts to maintain, time to set-up, transport from job-site to job-site.
