Retrospective Splice Identification
Find Every Splice. Fast.
Lost records? No problem. The SFD helps operators locate, identify, and log undocumented splices without disrupting service — restoring full network visibility.
The Challenge
Large-scale telecom networks often consist of thousands of splice closures, each containing multiple splices. Over time, accurate documentation of which splice serves which customer or route is lost. When a customer fault occurs, operators face significant delays and costs in tracing the exact splice responsible.
At a network access point, attach an attenuation circuit to induce a measurable loss.
The SFD non-invasively detects the signal attenuation, confirming the splice identity.
Once identified, the splice can be:
- Tagged with an asset label
- Logged into the digital inventory
- Provide an accurate digital network map to support audits, maintenance, and future resale
The SFD Advantage
The SFD enables operators to locate and document forgotten or undocumented splices without disrupting live service. By rebuilding complete network records, it helps reduce fault-tracing time, minimize downtime, and increase the overall value and reliability of the fibre infrastructure.
Fast fault resolution
Technicians can go directly to the splice in question.
Reduced downtime
Customer impact is minimised as testing is passive and non-disruptive.
Network future-proofing
Operators can prioritse critical splices for replacement, upgrades or monitoring.
Complete Asset Register
Every splice point is documented and geo-tagged for compliance and resale.
Increased network value
Provides a detailed, verifiable network map for buyers and auditors.
