  • What gets rid of all the "gunk thats on it" is a static electricity charge that zaps any remaining dust particles on the freshly cleaved glass.

  • This is the same machine i did my first splicing on.

  • You don't need a certification to use these machines. They're simple to use, but slightly difficult to get the parameters right on such as "gap distance", "prefusion time", "fusion voltage", etc.

  • And someone that terminates fiber will charge you anywhere from $500-thousands of dollars just for one termination.

  • You have to get certified.

  • anybody in australia who is a splicer or knows any companies that do fiber work, please contact me!

  • 0.02 lolll on my 1st time

  • Does the operator need to know how to do anything or is this a fully automated process?

  • BTW the piece of equipment is like $30,000.00 dollars

  • SilentKiller: The smal box in the front is called a cleaver. It cuts the fiber to give it a perfect edge. The larger box is the splice machine which attaches the 2 ends together with a very hot arc. You catch on quickly!
