Jilong KL-300 fusion splicer video with 0.01dB loss

Now this is exciting - 0.01dB loss

I guess there's no longer a reason to waste your money on a more expensive unit when you can purchase a Jilong KL-300 with US support and a 2 year warranty for almost half the price of a Fujikura. If you really want to drop your splicer on a soft 1 1/2" padded mat from 30" then go with the Fujikura 60s. If you want to save over $8000.00 then buy a Jilong KL-300.

While our other blogs had to do with price, I think you will agree when you see the side by side comparison of the "most popular" (Fujikura) fusion splicer vs. the new splicer (Jilong) on the block.
