Inside the Splice Fault Detector
Discover the technology, design, and workflow that make the Splice Fault Detector a powerful tool for accurate, real-time splice testing in any environment.
Technical Specifications


The Splice Detector enables engineers to verify their work quality without adding significant time to their job. It works on Live and Active fibre. It is controlled via the companion mobile app to give the estimated levels of infrared light bleeding.
Advanced IR Sensor Chambers
The SFD Reflective Coating maximises the IR detection levels. Self-calibrating sensors ensure the device is always at its peak performance.
Longevity and Resilience with IP-Rating
Water, dust, and shock resistance ensure the SFD can become a reliable piece of test equipment in an engineer’s toolkit.
Button-less Operation with Long Battery Life
The SFD has been designed with Smart Power Management, automatically powering on and off only when needed. It is also USB-C rechargeable.

User Experience
The SFD was designed around the way engineers actually work; fast-paced, hands-on, and often outdoors. Every detail, from its one-touch operation to its companion app, has been crafted to enhance accuracy without slowing the job down. The result: a powerful testing tool that feels effortless to use, yet delivers lab-grade precision in the field.


Ease of Use
Silicon grips secure splice protectors in place, preventing possible damage when testing the splice. A 90˚ snap keeps the lid open.
Anti-Cheat Algorithms
The SFD can detect when a real and live splice is used during the test procedure, preventing false test results. AI-based Algorithms flags non-compliance.
Intuitive App with No Impact on Job Productivity
Minimal impact on productivity with Simple Operating Procedure. Real-Time data capture gives an engineer an in-depth analysis of their splice quality.
