Comprehensive guide for buying best Fiber Optic fusion Splicing Kit

​Fiber optic cable or optical fiber cable has become an industry standard when you need high bandwidth internet, audio video conferencing or your aim is to develop a super high speed internet.

​The Fiber optic splicers or fiber splicing kits we had mentioned in this article are equally useful for all sort of fiber oriented networks or Internet providers at residential houses, surveillance cameras, security alarms, VOIP based systems that utilize fiber optic cables.

Step 1: ​A fiber optic stripper removes the first plastic layer of the fiber optic cable after that it can be placed inside the fiber optic splicer.

Step 2: ​We introduce a fusion protection sleeve to protect the bare fiber as shown in Figure below.

​Step 3: After that we use a cleaning wipe usually isopropyl alcohol to remove the wasters that may remain.

Step 4: After that we cut the fiber and for that we use device​ called Fiber optic cleaver or cutter that has a blade to cut the fiber optic at 90 degrees. We cut the fiber up to the length of 17 mm using the cleaver and this is shown in Figure below.

​Step 5: now we put the optical fiber into the fusion splicer and place it close to electrodes as shown in Figure below.

​We do the same process with other fiber end and close the clamps. We make sure that both the fibers that we want to join are close to electrodes but without joining each other as shown below.

​After that we close the shield of Fiber optical splicer and its screen will show the two fiber optics on the screen and they will be automatically aligned vertically and horizontally.

​Our test team consisted of three seasoned network technicians, and we evaluated fusion splicers provided by different companies. We tested them based upon precision of  ​their fiber alignment, speed and user friendly interface. We also compared the time required for the splicer to warm up and total time required in the splicing two fibers. According to us a quality splicer will fuse the fibers so precisely that there is no data loss or delay.

​According to our testers DVP-765 fusion splicer performed exceptionally well with great speed and its an excellent buy option. This splicer can automatically heat up (20 sec) and detect the fiber-touch. Another great feature is its portability after fully charge you can carry it any where in the field and you can splice 260 times without any charging. If battery is not charges you can also operate it with direct power. User interface is also very friendly and different colors indicate different fusion states. It has Innovative shockproof design which is also anti fall and quite sturdy. It has 6 groups of preset programs and 74 group of manual setting.

​AI-9 Fiber optic splicing kit is the best buy according to our testers team. The reason behind is that in the same price in which you get only a fiber splicing machine you are getting a complete kit that includes a cleaver, spare set of electrodes, fiber stripper, miller stripper, alcohol bottel and a brush for cleaning.

​Another great advantage of this splicer machine is that it has a builtin visual fault locator and a power meter as well. ​The power meter effectively measures connection loss​ and help ​in checking the fiber link transmission quality.

These added features saves you almost 300 dollars of purchasing these important equipment separately.

Bluetooth Splicer: ​The splicing can be very easily performed through mobile device due to the Bluetooth capability present in the splicer. The mobile APP can be used to turn on/off the machine menu,ARC calibration ,remote control,smart lock,etc.

Device menu is very user friendly and can be configured very easily in 10 different languages including English, french, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Spanish, Thai and Arabic. The splicing machine operates very fast due to industrial quad-core chip CPU. Other than that all the core components of the splicer are of big brands e.g. the stepper motor is from Siemens and the builtin battery is from Siemens, We highly recommend this splicer kit to our blog users because it has Lifetime Friendly Customer Service,5 years warranty​ and once splicing reaches to 50,000 times free replacement a new machine. 

​A-80S is another fiber splicing kit which is most liked by our team of testers. It comes with powerful 5200 mA high-capacity lithium battery which takes almost 3 hours to charge completely.

The important tools included in the kit are  fiber stripper, AC adapter, lithium battery, spare electrode, charger, cooling tray and operation manual CD. The splicer heats up automatically in ​30 sec and total time required in splicing is just 9 to 10 sec.

The fusion machine is especially suitable for optical fiber and cable projects, maintenance scientific research, railway, petrochemical, electric power, military and public security and other communications fields. 

​This is another fiber optic splicer our team tested and found it satisfactory based upon heating time and total splicing time. It is better than the other machines we discussed in terms that it has a touch screen based display that makes it more user friendly.

​Other accessories in the tool box are fiber optic cleaver, a pair of spare electrodes. The unique quality of this splicer is that it comes in three splicing modes that are manual, half auto and automatic splicing. The alignment of fiber core (profile alignment) is very precise with the help of 320 times image magnification.

​The KomShine fiber splicer worked extra ordinary well in all sort of tests conducted by our team. 

​KomShine is a very reputable company in fusion splicing and their splicer and fault locator for fiber optic cable surely met the standards set by our test team. The splicer takes 7 seconds for splicing cables and 18 seconds to heat up. The complete kit contains all very relevant and important equipment including fiber splicer, fiber stripper, fiber cleaver, alcohol pump bottle, cleaning wipes, flat cable stripper, cooling tray and spare electrodes as well.

Another great feature of this splicing kit is that it comes with a free fiber fault locator, fiber cleaver and a fiber stripper. These items are all of supreme quality and saves you at least 600 dollars. You can learn the usage of KomShine fault locator for fiber from here

​JW4108S splicer of Mophorn is a very good fiber splicer with heating time of 30 s and total splice time of 9s.

​Although auto heat time and total splice time of JW41098 is more than other splicers but still due to lesser price and very good quality we still suggest this splicer to our blog readers.

In a single charge that take only up to 3 hours you can do 300 splices ​with heating.

5 inch display gives up to 300 times image magnification and makes sure that the fibers are properly aligned.

The CD contains the necessary drivers and manual for the splicer which is a big aid for un expereinced person trying to setup the splicer.
