Overview
The INNO View 8X is a premium single-fibre fusion splicer developed for technicians and contractors who require fast operation, precise core alignment and advanced connectivity for professional fibre network projects.
Using core alignment technology, the View 8X accurately aligns the fibre cores before fusion, helping achieve consistently low splice loss across different fibre types. INNO specifies typical loss as low as 0.01 dB for single-mode fibre.
Fast splicing for high-productivity projects
The View 8X is designed to reduce the time required for each splice cycle.
Splicing time: from 4 seconds
Heating time: from 9 seconds
INNO’s Pressure Heater Technology reduces sleeve heating time, while improved energy efficiency allows the View 8X to complete up to 350 splice-and-heat cycles on a single charge under the manufacturer’s stated conditions.
This makes it particularly suitable for contractors working on larger FTTH roll-outs, network deployments and projects where productivity and splice quality both matter.

How to update
If the currently installed software is V1.00–V1.02, extract the package, copy all extracted files to the USB root and run the software upgrade twice. From V1.03 onward, you may use update.zip directly (or the extracted files), but the software upgrade must still be run twice.
After updating: Run the upgrade a second time (upgrade twice).
