COMWAY C10R 12 & 16-Core Ribbon Fusion Splicer
The COMWAY C10R supports compatible 12- and 16-fiber ribbon splicing with the appropriate configuration and holders. Listed cycle times are 6 seconds for splicing and 35 seconds for sleeve heating. It is a practical option for contractors evaluating ribbon-splicing equipment for data center, telecom backbone, and FTTH/FTTB projects.
Select the configuration for your cable. Confirm ribbon construction, fiber coating dimensions, pitch, holders, cleaver, stripper, and protection sleeves before ordering. A 16-core machine designation does not establish compatibility with every 16-fiber ribbon or every preparation tool.

Cycle times exclude stripping, cleaning, cleaving, loading, sleeve positioning, cooling, and acceptance testing. Listed loss is not a guarantee for every splice. Verify completed links using the project's required optical test procedure rather than relying solely on the splicer's estimated loss.
Repeatable Ribbon-Splicing Workflow
Automatic arc calibration and electrode stabilization support a controlled splicing process. Results also depend on fiber preparation, clean V-grooves, electrode condition, suitable splice settings, and compatible holders. Screen dimensions, equipment dimensions, and weight should be confirmed for the supplied version before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the C10R support 12- and 16-fiber ribbon?
Yes, with the appropriate configuration and compatible holders. Confirm your ribbon construction, pitch, coating dimensions, and required preparation accessories before ordering.
How fast does it splice and heat?
Listed cycle times are 6 seconds for splicing and 35 seconds for sleeve heating. These are not total installation times.
Does the included C109M cleaver support 16-fiber ribbon?
Confirm the exact supplied cleaver's ribbon width and fiber-count compatibility before purchase. The splicer's 16-core capability does not by itself establish cleaver compatibility.
How does it compare with Fujikura 88R or 90R?
The C10R is a value-focused candidate for buyers comparing ribbon-splicing packages. Compare current quotations for the exact models, ribbon compatibility, accessories, consumables, warranty, and service support. No independent head-to-head test is presented here establishing equivalent performance or overall superiority.
How long does the battery last?
The listing specifies 200+ splice cycles per charge. Actual runtime varies with heating use, battery condition, temperature, and operating settings; it is not a guaranteed full working day.
What warranty is offered?
A 2-year warranty is listed. Confirm exact coverage and exclusions with your quotation; consumable replacement and electrode life should not be assumed to be covered or guaranteed.
