A simple idea, done with precision
Two very small glass fibres are lined up and joined so light can pass through with as little loss as possible.
FIBRE SPLICING EXPLAINED
What Is Fibre Splicing?
Fibre splicing joins two optical fibres together. A fusion splicer carefully lines up the glass and uses a controlled electric arc to make a permanent join.
The splice is then protected inside a sleeve, tray or enclosure. After that, the link is tested to make sure light is passing through correctly.
- Used to repair a cut or damaged fibre cable
- Used to extend or join a new fibre run
- Used to connect pigtails inside a fibre panel
- Suitable for singlemode and multimode fibre
- Tested after splicing to check the final result

COMMON FIBRE PROBLEMS
When Should You Call a Fibre Technician?
You do not need to know the technical cause. Tell us what stopped working, where the cable runs and what equipment is connected.
No Link Light
The switches or media converters are connected, but the fibre link will not come up.
Cable Has Been Cut
A fibre cable has been damaged during construction, excavation, cabinet work or equipment changes.
High Loss or Poor Performance
The link works, but the measured loss is high or the connection is unstable.
New Fibre Has Been Installed
The cable is in place but still needs to be terminated, spliced and tested.
Cabinet or Panel Changes
A patch panel, pigtail, enclosure or cabinet needs to be added, moved or repaired.
Unknown Fibre Paths
The site has unlabelled fibres and you need help working out where the cores go.
FIBRE REPAIRS AND FAULT FINDING
Find the Fault. Repair the Fibre. Prove the Link.
A fibre fault can stop a building, workshop, camera network or remote cabinet from communicating. The first step is to work out whether the problem is in the fibre, connector, patching, optic or network equipment.
We can inspect the physical path, check both ends, use fibre test equipment and repair the affected cores where access and cable condition allow.
- Cut or crushed fibre cable
- Damaged pigtail or broken connector
- Bad splice or high-loss event
- Dark fibre or link that will not come up
- Unlabelled cores or incorrect patching
- Faults inside cabinets, trays or enclosures
01
Check the Ends
Review patching, connectors, optics and visible damage.
02
Test the Path
Use the right test method to narrow down the fault.
03
Repair the Fibre
Prepare, splice and protect the damaged cores.
04
Test Again
Confirm the repaired link before equipment is returned to service.
FIBRE TYPES MADE SIMPLE
Singlemode or Multimode Fibre?
Both types carry data using light, but they are normally used in different situations. The existing cable, distance and network equipment determine what should be used.
The two types should not be mixed without checking the complete design. We confirm the cable, connectors, optics and test wavelengths before splicing or commissioning the link.
LONGER LINKS AND HIGHER CAPACITY
Singlemode
Often used for building backbones, long distances, carrier services, campuses, mine sites and links between remote cabinets.
- Common cable type: OS2
- Usually uses singlemode optics
- Often tested at 1310 nm and 1550 nm
SHORTER LINKS INSIDE BUILDINGS
Multimode
Often used for shorter links inside offices, warehouses, communications rooms and equipment areas.
- Common types: OM3 and OM4
- Usually uses multimode optics
- Often tested at 850 nm and 1300 nm
FIBRE TESTING WITHOUT THE JARGON
What Do OTDR and Loss Tests Actually Tell You?
OTDR testing helps show what is happening along the cable. It can indicate the distance to a break, splice, connector or high-loss event.
End-to-end loss testing measures the total amount of light lost from one end of the link to the other. This helps confirm whether the complete path is suitable for use.
- OTDR: useful for locating and analysing events
- Power meter test: useful for total link loss
- Visual fault locator: useful for simple continuity checks
- Connector inspection: useful before connecting or testing
- Results can be supplied in the agreed handover format
CLEAN FIBRE TERMINATION
Fibre Panels, Pigtails and Splice Trays
The splice is only one part of the job. The fibre also needs to be protected, routed and labelled inside the cabinet or enclosure.
A clean panel makes future testing, patching and repairs much easier. It also reduces the chance of tight bends, crushed fibres or accidental damage.
- Fibre patch panels and LIUs
- LC and SC pigtail termination
- Splice trays and protective sleeves
- Cable entry, glands and strain relief
- Adapter and port labelling
- Fibre patch leads and switch connections
PROTECT
Keep splices and bends safe
LABEL
Make each core easy to identify
PATCH
Connect equipment cleanly

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fibre Splicing Perth FAQs
Simple answers to common questions about fibre repairs, fusion splicing, testing and project pricing.
Fibre splicing joins two optical fibres together. Fusion splicing uses a specialised machine to line up the glass fibres and make a permanent low-loss join.
Yes, where the damaged cable can be accessed and there is enough usable fibre to prepare and protect the repair. The affected cores are spliced and the link is tested afterwards.
Yes. Western Technology can work with common singlemode and multimode fibre used in business and commercial networks. The cable type, connectors and optics are checked before work begins.
An OTDR sends light into the fibre and records what happens along the cable. It can help show the distance to a break, splice, connector or high-loss event.
Optical loss testing measures how much light is lost from one end of the fibre link to the other. It is useful for checking the total performance of the completed path.
Yes. Fibre pigtails can be fusion spliced into a patch panel, LIU or suitable enclosure. The splices are protected inside a tray and the ports are labelled.
Yes. LC and SC pigtails are common options for fibre panels. The correct connector, polish type and fibre type need to match the existing equipment and design.
Yes. Fault finding can include checking patch leads, connectors, optics, switch ports, visible damage and the fibre path. OTDR or loss testing may then be used to narrow down the problem.
Test results can be supplied in the agreed format. The exact report depends on whether the job needs OTDR traces, end-to-end loss results, a simple handover summary or another project requirement.
Pricing depends on the site, fibre type, number of cores, access, cabinet condition, repair work, travel and testing required. Clear photos of both ends help us prepare a more accurate quote.
Useful information includes the site address, fibre type if known, core count, connector type, photos of both ends, cabinet or enclosure photos, the equipment being connected and a description of the fault or required outcome.
Yes, suitable regional and mine-site fibre projects can be assessed. Travel, mobilisation, permits, access and site requirements are included when the scope is reviewed.
Western Technology holds Open Cabling Registration with fibre competency. Fixed customer cabling is completed under the applicable Australian cabling rules.
Send us the site details, photos and a short description of the problem or required link. We can then confirm the next practical step and prepare a quote where enough information is available.
