Optical Fiber Specialists
Precision fusion splicing and certified OTDR testing for fiber infrastructure that demands zero-tolerance performance.
What We Do
Precision optical fiber services from cable preparation to full certification — two specialisms that work better together.
Arc fusion welding of optical fiber cores with automatic core-to-core alignment — achieving permanent, low-loss joins that outperform mechanical splicing by an order of magnitude. From single-fiber repairs to high-count ribbon mass fusion, we handle every scenario with calibrated precision.
Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer testing sends pulses of light down every fiber span and captures a detailed backscatter trace — mapping every event (splice, connector, bend, break) with its exact distance and loss value. Our bi-directional OTDR certification covers every fiber in your installation, delivering a legally defensible record of performance.
Supply and installation of all fiber termination hardware — patch panels, building entry boxes, fiber termination boxes, and wall outlet boxes — engineered for durability, density, and clean cable management.
Pre-installation fiber surveys, fault-finding, and emergency break repairs. Our teams carry full OTDR and fusion splicing kits at all times — enabling same-day mobilisation for live network outages and critical infrastructure failures.
OTDR Testing in Detail
Every fiber we test gets a full trace report. Here's how to read one — and why it matters for your network.
Exact Distance-to-Fault
OTDR locates every event — splice, bend, break, or bad connector — to within centimetres. If a buried cable fails three months after installation, we can pinpoint the dig location without guesswork.
Per-Event Loss Measurement
Every splice and connector is measured individually. Our target is <0.02 dB per fusion splice — any event approaching the IEC 61300 limit of 0.1 dB is flagged and re-worked on the spot.
Bi-directional Testing
We test every span in both directions and average the results to eliminate geometric artefacts. This is the only method recognised by TIA-526 and IEC 61280 for certified acceptance testing.
Certified Report & SOR Files
Every fiber receives a PDF certificate showing all events, losses, and a pass/fail verdict against your chosen standard. Raw SOR trace files are included so you can re-open them in any OTDR software.
End-face Inspection
Every connector is inspected under 400× magnification before and after cleaning, graded to IEC 61300-3-35. Contaminated end-faces are the leading cause of network outages — we eliminate this risk completely.
How We Work
A proven six-step methodology refined over 15 years — delivering zero-defect fiber infrastructure, every time.
Technical Reference
We work across the full spectrum of optical fiber cable — from indoor patch cord to armoured long-haul underground.

Why Choose Us
Not every fiber contractor is equal. Here's what sets our work apart — in facts you can verify from the certification reports we hand over.
Client Feedback
Splicing Specialist installed our entire campus backbone — 48 buildings, 2,400 fibers. Every OTDR report came back under 0.02 dB. The documentation was immaculate. Exceptional work.
We had a critical fiber break at 2 AM. Splicing Specialist was on-site by 5 AM, located the fault with OTDR, re-spliced, and had the network live before the morning shift. That kind of response is rare.
Three years in our harshest industrial environment and not a single failure. The building entry boxes, termination enclosures, and every splice have performed flawlessly. Worth every penny.
Standards & Accreditations
We hold and actively maintain the industry's most respected certifications — so you can trust every meter of fiber we touch.
