Fiber splicers and cleavers
General information
To perform high-quality splicing of optical fibers, it is necessary to use a professional fiber splicer and good precision optical fiber cleaver. Among the equipment for fiber optic splicing (or as it is also called: splicing machines for optics), the products of the Japanese company Fujikura are especially popular. Apparatus for fiber optic splicing, which are produced by this company, are distinguished by legendary reliability, ease of use and a relatively low price. Fujikura splicers have been holding the first position among similar devices for many years and allow splicing any types of modern fibers on all types of networks: trunk, city, district, FTTx, PON, SCS, etc.
This page has everything you need to choose the optimal machine for fiber optic splicing: selection of the best models, price comparison, performance comparison, list of all models, video reviews, economy offer, accessories and consumables, service maintenance.

Help in choosing equipment
Choose and buy inexpensive and high quality Splicer for fiber optic is not always easy. When choosing a model, in addition to the standard parameters: fiber convergence method and splicing loss, it is necessary to take into account additional characteristics and capabilities of the device: splicing speed and heat shrinkage, electrode life, number of splicing / heat shrinkage cycles from a standard battery, computer connection interface, a set of additional functions, operating temperature range, quality and durability of the device, manufacturer's reputation, professionalism and reliability supplier, service availability, warranty period and much more.
In addition, you may need technical advice on types of manufactured splicing machines: Precise core alignment, cladding alignment, and active V-groove alignment.
Of course, you can independently choose the appropriate device and its equipment, using the materials of our website, or you can send us a request in advance on E-mail with a description of the technical requirements and call us to briefly discuss your task. We have more than 20 years of practical supply experience and we can immediately answer many questions about models, accessories, delivery times, prices and discounts.
