How to Choose a Good Fusion Splicer Machine for FTTH
When it comes to FTTH (Fiber to the Home) installation, a fusion splicer is the most important machine. This machine joins (splices) two optical fibers by melting them with electric arc and connecting them with almost zero loss. So choosing the right fusion splicer is very important for stable internet performance.
After discussing with the Sales and Service Team, these are the points they said to always check before buying a fusion splicer:
1. Splicing Quality & Splice Loss
Choose the machine that consistently gives very low splice loss. (0.01dB – 0.03dB is considered good quality)
2. Alignment Type
Core alignment is better and gives more accurate splicing compared to Clad alignment.
For FTTH projects – Core Alignment Splicer is recommended.
3. Heating Time & Splicing Speed
A machine with fast splice & fast heating saves time in field work.
4. Battery Backup
A good machine should complete 300+ splicing cycles in one full charge.
5. Compatibility & Accessories
Check if it supports all types of fiber & comes with fiber cleaver, stripper, electrodes, charger etc.
6. Easy Service, Maintenance & Availability of Spare Parts
Always choose a brand that has:
• Local service support
• Quick spare parts availability
• Easy maintenance & calibration support
Because in field works — service matters more than brand name.
Conclusion:
A good fusion splicer for FTTH should be reliable, accurate,fast and should have good local service support. This ensures better performance and less complaints in the future. Some of the recommended fusion splicing machine by our service and sales are; Comway C10S v2(For the Trunk Line), Comway A33( For the FTTH).
Top 5 Very Important Tools for FTTH Installation
FTTH fiber installation requires correct tools. Having the right tools helps technicians work faster, safer and with high quality finishing.
The Sales & Fiber Service Team suggested these top 5 most important tools:
Tools Why it is Important
Fusion Splicer Machine The heart of FTTH work. Used to join fiber with low loss.
Fiber Cleaver Ensures perfect fiber cut (flat 90°) for accurate splicing.
OTDR / Power Meter & Light Source Used to check distance, loss & fiber path issues. Helps in troubleshooting.
Fiber Stripper Tool Helps to strip coating and buffer safely without damaging the fiber core.
Alcohol Wipes / Cleaning Kits Clean fiber properly before splicing. Cleanliness improves quality & stability.
These tools are must-have for every FTTH installer to guarantee stable connection and professional project delivery.
