Fusion splicer

The offered product is used for fusion splicing of optical fibers using the electric arc method. You can use it for SM, MM, and DS/NZDS fibers. The average splicing time is 6 seconds, and the heating time is 15 seconds, totaling 21 seconds for the entire cycle. The device supports core alignment and has a 320x image magnification capability.

Multiple tools in one

The AI-10A device, in addition to being a fusion splicer, incorporates many other functions. The fiber cleaver is built into the body, serving as an integral part of the AI-10A. Additionally, the splicer features an optical power meter and a visual fault locator, with the connectors located on the side of the housing (on the left side). On the right side, there is a compartment designed to store the fiber stripper. Thanks to all these functions, various tools are housed in a compact enclosure, saving much more space compared to their classic forms.

Small dimensions

During transport, you can enclose the device in a convenient carrying case measuring 165 x 230 x 255 mm. The total weight of the set is 4.5 kg. You can attach a strap to the case, allowing you to hang it over your shoulder. When opened, the top cover can be used as a stool.

Metal chassis

The Signal Fire AI-10A features a metal body housing all the essential components. At the top, you'll find the fiber cleaver, a 5-inch diagonal display, holders, and a heater for heat-shrink sleeves. On the sides of the housing, there are ports for the optical power meter (OPM) and visual fault locator (VFL), as well as a place to store the fiber stripper. Additionally, the entire device is coated with rubber for added protection against mechanical damage.

Precise cleaver

The splicer's housing contains an integrated fiber cleaver designed for cutting optical fibers. It operates fully automatically; once the fiber is placed and the cover is closed, the cutting process is initiated.

Built-in optical power meter and visual fault locator

The offered product features a built-in Optical Power Meter (OPM) and Visual Fault Locator (VFL). The OPM supports 6 different wavelengths: 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, and 1625 nm, with a power range of -50 ~ 26 dBm. The Visual Fault Locator has a power of 15 mW, with a maximum range of 10 km. It can operate in two modes: continuous light or flashing.

Multifunctional stripper

In the kit, you will find a fiber stripper equipped with 3 holes. The first one is used to remove the outer coating from cables with a maximum diameter of 3 mm, the second one is for removing the tube, and the third one is for removing the coating directly from the fibers. Additional cotton rolls allow for quick and easy cleaning of the fiber.

The tool stands out for its significantly higher build quality compared to ordinary strippers that are typically included with splicers. The use of appropriate materials ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation.

7800 mAh battery

The splicer is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 7800 mAh. When fully charged, it is sufficient for performing up to 240 splicing and heating cycles. The battery features a charging socket, allowing you to charge it separately from the splicer. An additional advantage is the external indicator displaying the battery's charge status.

Next to the battery socket, there is a DC socket. By connecting the charger to it, you can simultaneously charge the battery and use the splicer. The kit includes a power adapter 13.5 V DC / 4.8 A.

Automatic heater

The heater operates automatically; once the sleeves are placed inside it and the cover is closed, the device initiates the heat shrinking process. The typical heating time is approximately 15 seconds, and you can manually adjust it as needed. At the back of the splicer, there is a metal tray where you can place the splice for cooling before further work.

3-in-1 holders

The holders in the splicer can be used for drop cables, pigtails, or bare fibers. Depending on the type of cable, it needs to be prepared for splicing and cut accordingly.
