UCL Swift K33 Core Alignment Fusion Splicer

The UCL Swift K33 Core Alignment Fusion Splicer is a portable instrument used to join individual optical fibers. It creates permanent connections that allow light signals to travel between sections of fiber optic cable, supporting the installation, expansion, and repair of communications networks.

The K33 uses core alignment technology to precisely position the light-carrying centers of two prepared fibers. It then applies an electric arc to fuse the fiber ends together. This process helps minimize signal loss at the joint and supports dependable transmission through the completed connection.

Designed to work with several fiber types, the K33 supports single-mode, multimode, dispersion-shifted, and non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers. Its typical splicing time is approximately six seconds in Quick Mode. Selectable splice settings allow technicians to adapt operation to the fiber being joined.

Two internal cameras and a 5-inch color touchscreen provide magnified views of the fibers, helping users monitor alignment and inspect the splice. The instrument also estimates splice loss and stores results for later review. After the splice is completed, its built-in heater shrinks a protective sleeve around the exposed joint.

With rechargeable battery operation and a portable design, the UCL Swift K33 supports work at installation sites and maintenance locations. Technicians use it for applications such as broadband deployment, telecommunications infrastructure, and cable restoration. By combining precise alignment, fusion splicing, and protective sleeve heating, it helps produce durable fiber connections with low optical loss.
