The figures in the table are the manufacturer’s published data. We send the current data sheet with the quote.
Fusion splicers
Units that join fibres by melting them with an electric arc. Both use core alignment; they differ in speed, display and body.
PROLITE-41
Compact · 7 seconds
One of the smallest and lightest splicers on the market, and among the fastest at a 7-second fusion time. Optical Core Alignment and a four-motor drive make it suitable not only for FTTx but for telecom trunk lines too.
Body: titanium alloy, built waterproof and dustproof
Battery: two packs that come out in seconds at the press of a button; 180 fusion + heating cycles each, and usable while charging
In the box: fibre and drop cable strippers, cleaver, dust blowing pear, isopropyl alcohol dispenser
The fibre holders are user-replaceable through a fast, magnet-guided fitting.
PROLITE-42
Ultra slim · 8 seconds
A slim-bodied unit designed for installing and maintaining any type of fibre optic network, aimed especially at FTTH installers. Automatic core alignment and up to 300x on-screen magnification.
Battery: two removable packs, up to 300 splices on a single charge. It also runs from the mains.
In the box: cleaver, stripper, protection sleeves, cooling tray and spare electrodes, in its own rugged transport case
The most balanced choice for a team that wants to go out fully equipped from day one.
PL-10B
Tool kit · no splicer
A tool kit for teams that own a splicer which came without accessories. It brings together what you need for cost-efficient terminations.
Inside: fibre cleaver, stripper, visual fault locator and cleaning materials
Where: getting a second-hand or bare splicer ready for field work
No fusion splicer included; if you need the unit as well, we will quote it together with a PROLITE-41 or PROLITE-42.
Measurement and fault finding
For verifying the link after a splice and locating a fault on site. All three are handheld and built for field use.
PROLITE-11B
Visual fault locator (VFL)
A visual fault locator with a high-power, extra long-life 650 nm laser diode. It runs in either continuous or modulated mode.
What it does: breaks, sharp bends and poor splices become visible through the jacket
Where: a quick check after splicing, patch cord and pigtail testing, short-range fault finding
PROLITE-30B
Fibre identifier
It detects 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz optical signals without disrupting the link, and tells you which fibre is live and in which direction.
What it does: finding the right fibre in a loaded tray; it removes the risk of cutting the wrong one
Where: carrier field work, data centres, maintenance and troubleshooting
PROLITE-24 Fiber Test UTP
Three in one
Optical power meter, visual fault locator and Ethernet tester in one body. It checks both the fibre and the copper side with the same unit.
What it does: measuring link attenuation, verifying splice loss, testing the cabling on the UTP side
Where: commissioning, acceptance measurement, mixed fibre-copper sites
Preparation, termination and consumables
Everything consumed on site alongside the splicer. All genuine PROMAX, ordered with the unit or separately.
| Code | Product | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| AF-001 | Fibre cleaver | Cleaver for 125 µm fibre; blade life 12,000 cuts |
| AF-003 | Fibre stripper | Precision stripper; removes the 3 mm jacket and the coating |
| AF-014 | Round cable stripper | Fibre cable hoses up to 29 mm diameter; straight or spiral cut |
| AF-015 | Mid-span access tool | Safely opens 2, 2.5 or 3 mm hoses without cutting the line |
| AF-008 | Kevlar® scissors | Ergonomic, high-durability Kevlar® cutting scissors |
| AF-011 | Mechanical splicer | Splices 250 µm or 900 µm buffered fibres without a fusion splicer; a VFL is enough to check the result |
| AF-010 | Connector kit | 10-unit pack of connectors for 250 µm or 900 µm cables |
| AF-012 | Fibre microscope | 200x magnification with LED lighting; for inspecting connector end faces |

| AF-004 | Alcohol cleaning wipes | 100% water-free; removes dust, oil and pollutants leaving no residue |
| AF-005 | Splice protection sleeves | 100-unit pack of heat-shrink sleeves; prevents breakage from tensile stress |
| AF-002 | Spare electrodes | Genuine spare electrodes for PROLITE-41 and PROLITE-42 |
| AF-006 | Cleaver blades | Genuine replacement blades for PROLITE series cleavers |
| AF-007 | Disposal unit | Fibre offcut container with a secure pressure closure, labelled for sharp material |
| AF-016 / 017 / 018 | OTDR launch cables | Launch cables that move the OTDR dead zone outside the link under test |
| DC-229 | Transport case | Sturdy transport and storage case with customizable inner space |
We hold stock of the consumables — electrodes, blades, sleeves, wipes. Do not wait with the unit idle on site; order the spares up front.
How a fibre splice is made, step by step
Most splice loss comes from the preparation, not the machine. Here is the order; the PROMAX product used at each step is in brackets.
- Open the jacket. Take the outer jacket off with the round cable stripper (AF-014); if you are entering mid-span without cutting the line, use the mid-span tool (AF-015). Cut the Kevlar® with the scissors (AF-008).
- Slide the sleeve on first. Slide the protection sleeve (AF-005) onto the fibre before you splice — it cannot go on afterwards, and the splice has to be redone.
- Strip the coating. Remove the 250 µm coating in one pass with the precision stripper (AF-003).
- Clean it. Wipe the bare fibre with an alcohol wipe (AF-004). Even the smallest residue raises splice loss.
- Cleave. Get a square, clean end face with the cleaver (AF-001). An angle error is the most common cause of high splice loss.
- Splice. Load the fibres into the unit; it aligns the cores, fuses them with an electric arc and shows the splice loss on screen.
- Protect it. Slide the sleeve over the splice, shrink it in the heater and let it rest in the cooling tray.
- Verify. Check the link with the visual fault locator (PROLITE-11B) or the power meter (PROLITE-24). If an acceptance measurement is required you will need OTDR launch cables (AF-016/017/018).
Electrodes are consumables; when splice quality starts to drop, electrode life is the first thing to check (AF-002).
