Furukawa America and 3SAE Technologies Announce Strategic Partnership to Serve Optical Equipment Manufacturing Market.


PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- Furukawa America Inc. and 3SAE Technologies Inc. announced today a new partnership dedicated to serving the fusion splicing Fusion splicing is the act of joining two optical fibers end-to-end using heat. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are  needs of optical equipment manufacturers throughout the Americas.

This strategic alliance capitalizes on Furukawa's 35 years of global leadership in fusion splicer splice
