Signal Fireis 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 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 for diagnostics. Products of this company have gained recognition in the markets of the whole world.


AI-8, AI-8C, AI-9 models employ core alignment technology (there is an 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 splicers 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. All models are controlled by a quad-core processor providing fast response times (the splicer is ready to work after 3 seconds) and ensuring short splicing and sleeve heating operations. The splicer is one of the fastest devices of its kind currently available on the market and the fastest in its price class.


AI-9 is the latest model from the line of optical fiber splicers, which have been successfully used in fiber optic installations of various categories for several years. Thanks to the fine-tuning of the software and an even better optimization of the splicing process, the entire process has been shortened to just5 seconds. However, the most important feature of the new model is built inoptical power meter module and visual fault locator. This allows for quick diagnostics of the optical path immediately after making a splice.



5.1-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480 pixelsandadjustable brightnessmakes the operation simple and intuitive, even in difficult lighting conditions. The optical system offersmagnification 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, andsleeve heating time (40 mm sleeves) is only 15 seconds. The included USB adapter allows 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, multi fiber and DROP cables. The splicing machine offers various programs and Auto mode that works well in most situations.




The housing body ismade of metal, underneath covered withrubber protection. The splicing chamber and heater cover are made of high quality plastics. The kit includes apractical boxcontaining all the necessary tools, power supply and accessories (placed intwo-level drawermounted on durable metal guides). What is important, the installer does not have to take the splicer out of the box for splicing operations - the box provides a solid and stable support. The box is made of durable plastic and has adetachable element that can be used as a stool or small table.




The device is equipped with7800 mAh rechargeable batterywhich has enough energy to perform240 splices with sleeve heating cycles. The battery charging time isonly 3.5 hours. 'Press remove' design of the battery compartment allows forvery fast battery change(there is a possibility to buy a spare battery). Additionally, the AI-8 splicer is equipped with aUSB connector for charging a smartphonein the field from this high-capacity battery.




The splicer software allows the owner to enable a so-called'smart lock'. In this mode, the owner has the possibility to limit the use of the splicer - for example when renting it. The following restrictions can be made:






  • the splicer is locked by default; it is necessary to unlock using a pre-defined phone,

  • the splicer is unlocked to perform a certain number of splices - after that it will remain blocked,

  • the splicer is unlocked for a specified time (user defines a range of dates); after that, the splicer will remain blocked.

The splicer is immediately ready for operation. For daily work it does not need any configuration or additional application. The application available inGoogle PlayandAppStoreis required only for advanced management, eg for changing the default splicing program or calibration settings due to extremely changing environmental conditions. The application also includes an instruction manual in English and instructional videos.


The application offered by the manufacturer allows the user to change parameters for both basic and advanced functions of the splicer. It is also possible to work in full manual mode with manual positioning of fibers in two planes. The application enables the user to view the history of splices made (optionally with pictures of bad ones) and export it to a spreadsheet (with date filtering option).


How to start splicing? - preliminary steps and configuration


The prerequisite is to download the dedicated application for an Android device fromGoogle Playstore, or for an iOS device fromAppStore. In most cases the device is a smartphone, so it will further be referred to as the phone.


The preliminary steps include running the downloaded app, switching on the splicer and selecting the 'Connect device' option. The connection uses Bluetooth technology. After selecting the splicer from the list of devices visible on the phone, the activation of the connection will be confirmed with an appropriate message in the main application window.
