The FiberFox Splice Device Mini 6+ Kit from Softing IT Networks is a compact and mobile device for the professional connection of fiber optic cables in the field. It is designed for precise and reliable splicing of singlemode and multimode fibers and is intended for use in telecommunications, network construction, and maintenance of fiber optic infrastructures. The kit includes all necessary components for a mobile working environment, including the splicing device, a cleaving tool, batteries, a hard-shell case, and other accessories required for daily use.

Applications

The splicing device is suitable for outdoor and industrial environments where a mobile and robust solution for fiber optic connections is required. It is frequently used during the installation of fiber optic cables in buildings, network expansions, or maintenance of existing infrastructures. The combination of splicing device and cleaving tool enables complete fiber processing on-site without requiring additional equipment.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The kit contains a FiberFox Splice Device Mini 6+, designed for precise splicing of fiber optic cables. This includes a Mini-60A cleaving tool for clean and exact fiber cutting. The delivery includes two batteries, each with a capacity of 5200 mAh, ensuring sufficient operating time. Additionally, a power supply unit and a cigarette lighter power cable are included, allowing the device to be operated from vehicle power sources. A hard-shell case with a carrying strap provides protection and transport convenience. The kit also includes a pair of replacement electrodes, interchangeable fiber holders for the cleaving and splicing devices in sizes 250 µm and 900 µm, a USB cable, and an instruction manual on CD.

Technology Explained Simply

The splicing device operates on the principle of fiber connection by fusing the ends of two fiber optic cables using electric electrodes. Precise fiber positioning is achieved through an integrated microscope and automatic alignment, ensuring minimal attenuation and high connection reliability. The Mini-60A cleaving device enables clean and uniform fiber cutting, which is crucial for successful splicing. The batteries enable mobile use without constant power supply, while the power supply and cigarette lighter cable offer additional operating options.

Compatibility and Accessories

The splicing device is designed for processing fiber optic cables with diameters of 250 µm and 900 µm, enabling compatibility with most common fiber cable types. The included interchangeable fiber holders are adapted to these diameters. The use of replacement electrodes ensures long-term functionality of the device.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed directly on-site without requiring additional tools or auxiliary equipment. The device is placed on a stable surface, fibers are cut using the cleaving tool, and then inserted into the splicing device. Automatic alignment and splicing are controlled via the device’s user interface. The instruction manual on CD provides detailed step-by-step guidance for operation and maintenance.

Advantages in Operation

The combination of compact design, integrated cleaving tool, and mobile power supply enables efficient and fast work in the field. The high precision of splicing ensures low attenuation and reliable connections. The use of replacement electrodes and interchangeable fiber holders extends the device’s lifespan and reduces maintenance effort. The hard-shell case provides protection during transport and storage.
