Abstract
A fusion splicer for which maintenance can be performed efficiently is provided. A fusion splicer 1 for splicing optical fibers comprises a CCD camera 14 for capturing an image of a fusion splicing process of the optical fibers, a main memory 21 for storing image data obtained by the CCD camera 14, and a communication controller 3 adapted to make the image data transmittable and effect communication with a service station.
