Fusion Splicing Services

Creating seamless, high-performance fibre optic connections for networks across London.

Fusion splicing is the process of joining two optical fibres end-to-end using heat. It is the most reliable and widely used method of creating permanent, low-loss connections that are as strong as a single, uncut fibre. At London Fibre Cabling, our engineers use state-of-the-art fusion splicers to deliver flawless results every time.

A perfect splice is critical for maintaining the integrity and performance of your network. Unlike mechanical splices, fusion splicing provides the lowest possible signal loss and is less prone to degradation over time, ensuring your network runs at its optimal speed.

When is Fusion Splicing Required?

Our expert fusion splicing services are essential in a variety of scenarios:

New Network Installations: When terminating long runs of fibre optic cable onto pigtails inside a fibre enclosure or patch panel.
Emergency Cable Repairs: If a fibre optic cable is accidentally cut or damaged, fusion splicing is the only way to properly repair the break and restore service. Our fault-finding team can rapidly locate the break for splicing.
Network Extensions: When you need to extend an existing fibre run to reach a new location, we can splice a new cable onto the existing one.
Joining Different Cable Types: To connect different types of fibre optic cables together as part of a network upgrade or modification.

We perform fusion splicing on all types of fibre, including single-mode (OS1/OS2) and multi-mode (OM3/OM4/OM5), and terminate them with any standard connector type (LC, SC, ST).

Our Splicing Process

Precision Preparation

Each fibre is meticulously stripped, cleaned, and precisely cleaved to create a perfect surface for splicing.

Automated Alignment

Our splicing machines automatically align the cores of the two fibres with microscopic precision before fusing them together.

Splice Protection

Each completed splice is protected with a heat-shrink sleeve and carefully organised in a splice tray to ensure long-term durability.

OTDR Testing

We test every splice with an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) to verify the low loss and high quality of the connection.
