Signalfire AI-9 Fiber Optic FTTH Splicing Machine

Signal Fire is a dynamically developing company specializing in the manufacture of fiber optic splicers. Headquartered in Chengdu, it employs nearly 200 professionals. The devices are built with top-of-the-line components from renowned manufacturers (including European ones) and are based on technological solutions protected by numerous patents. The characteristic feature of splicing machines from Signal Fire is the use of smartphones for their configuration, archiving of operation data, and diagnostics. Products of this company have gained recognition in the markets of the whole world. The high quality of the offered devices is confirmed by the warranty policy providing a replacement after 50,000 splices.

Signal Fire AI-9 employs core alignment technology (there is the option of cladding alignment) that ensures minimum attenuation of the splices. The splicer is one of the fastest devices of its kind currently available on the market and the fastest in its price class.

A 5.1-inch screen with a resolution of 800×480 pixels and adjustable brightness makes the operation simple and intuitive, even in difficult lighting conditions. The optical system offers a magnification factor of 300, making it very easy to observe the splicing operations and visual analysis of the results (in two planes). The minimum splicing time is 5 seconds, and the sleeve heating time (40 mm sleeves) is only 15 seconds. The included USB adapter allows you to charge the smartphone or connect a USB lamp powered from the USB port when working in the dark (no lamp included).

The universal fiber holders ensure comfort and speed of operations – they can hold 250 μm or 900 μm SM, MM fibers in tight buffer or loose tubes, pigtails, rubber-insulated fibers, and multi-fiber and DROP cables. The splicing machine offers various programs and Auto mode that works well in most situations.

The device is equipped with a 7800 mAh rechargeable battery which has enough energy to perform 240 splices with sleeve heating cycles. The battery charging time is only 3.5 h. The “Press & remove” design of the battery compartment allows for a very fast battery change (there is a possibility to buy a spare battery).
