Fiber Fusion Splicing Machine Signal Fire A1-9

The Fiber optic fusion splicing machine AI 9 Signal Fire is a proven solution in the market of fiber-optic fusion splicers. Despite of advanced fiber positioning and splicing technique, the device is offered for a very competitive price. The working comfort will be appreciated by both beginner and advanced users, including experienced installers. The quality and reliability of the splicing machine has been confirmed in a number of tests performed under a variety of environmental conditions and on different types of fibers.

Signal Fire AI-9 employs core alignment technology (there is option of cladding alignment) that ensures minimum attenuation of the splices. Fiber ends are positioned by 6 stepper motors from Siemens, which is an absolute exception in this price category.

The Fiber Optic Fusion Splicer can be used both for deployment of hundred-kilometer-long fiber optic trunks and in FTTH systems requiring short point-to-point connections, in LAN installations and fiber-based video surveillance systems.
