One tool. Five essential functions. The Swift KF4A is a compact all-in-one active cladding alignment fusion splicer for FTTx and broadband work, performing stripping, cleaning, cleaving, splicing, and sleeving in a single unit. One machine on the bench instead of five stations means less gear to haul, fewer handling steps that introduce error, and consistent results on every splice - the thermal stripper alone eliminates the fiber scratching that hand stripping risks.
Paired with Swift splice-on connectors (SOC), the KF4A replaces mechanical connectors with fused terminations - better quality, better durability, and lower long-term maintenance cost. Field durability is engineered in: shock tested with 76cm drops from five sides, IPx2 water resistance, and IP5x dust protection keep it splicing in real conditions.
Key Features:
- 5-in-1: stripping, cleaning, cleaving, splicing, and sleeve protection
- IPAAS active clad-to-clad alignment for precision splices
- Thermal stripping prevents fiber scratches
- Compatible with industry-standard Fusion Splice-On Connectors (SOC)
- Shock (76cm, 5-sided drop test), dust (IP5x), and water (IPx2) resistant
- Compact footprint for tight workspaces and aerial buckets
