The F7 Fusion Splicer Weekly Hire package gives fibre technicians and contractors access to professional Core Alignment fusion splicing equipment for longer installation, maintenance and project work.

Instead of hiring equipment one day at a time, weekly hire provides a practical option when your fibre project extends across several working days or you need a fusion splicer available throughout the week.

The F7 Fusion Splicer combines Core Alignment with high-speed image processing and orientation technology, allowing technicians to complete fibre fusion quickly.

Additionally, its large colour LCD monitor and easy-to-use menu system clearly display each stage of the splicing process.

With its compact size, lightweight construction, built-in rechargeable battery, charger lead and external AC power supply, the F7 suits field, factory and FTTH applications.

Why Choose Weekly Fusion Splicer Hire?

Weekly hire makes sense when a project runs for several days and you need reliable access to a fusion splicer throughout the job.

Rather than coordinating multiple individual hire days, you can keep the equipment available for the agreed weekly hire period.

This can work particularly well for:

  • Multi-day fibre installations
  • Larger fibre termination projects
  • Network upgrades
  • Fibre backbone projects
  • Data centre installations
  • FTTH projects
  • Industrial fibre networks
  • Maintenance programs
  • Fibre restoration projects
  • Projects with changing site schedules

Weekly hire also gives technicians more flexibility when project timelines depend on site access, other trades or installation progress.

Core Alignment F7 Fusion Splicer

The F7 uses Core Alignment technology to position optical fibres before fusion.

Accurate alignment forms an important part of the fusion process. Therefore, the F7 combines its alignment system with high-speed image processing and orientation technology to help technicians complete splicing efficiently.

This makes the F7 suitable for professional contractors who need a capable fusion splicer without purchasing a unit for every project or technician.

Fast Fusion Splicing for Larger Projects

On projects with numerous fibre splices, equipment workflow can significantly affect productivity.

The F7 processes fibre images and alignment quickly, allowing the fibre fusion process to finish within seconds once technicians correctly prepare and position the fibres.

However, professional fusion splicing involves more than the fusion cycle itself.

Technicians must also:

  • Strip the fibre
  • Clean the bare fibre
  • Cleave the fibre
  • Position the fibres correctly
  • Complete the fusion
  • Protect the finished splice
  • Organise fibres within the enclosure
  • Test the completed link

Therefore, a complete weekly hire kit gives technicians access to the key equipment throughout the project rather than focusing only on splice speed.

Large Colour LCD Monitor

The F7 features a large colour LCD monitor that gives technicians a clear view of the fusion process.

The easy-to-use menu system also helps operators navigate the splicer’s functions while working in different installation environments.

A clear display becomes particularly useful when technicians work inside:

  • Fibre joint enclosures
  • Telecommunications facilities
  • Equipment rooms
  • Data centres
  • Building risers
  • Industrial sites
  • Field locations

Built-In Rechargeable Battery for Field Work

The F7 includes a built-in rechargeable battery, allowing technicians to splice fibre where access to mains power remains limited.

This makes the unit particularly useful for field and infrastructure projects.

For example, technicians can use battery power when working in telecommunications infrastructure, outdoor locations or areas where running an AC power lead would prove inconvenient.

The weekly hire package also includes the required power accessories for locations where mains power is available.

Compact and Portable Fusion Splicer

Weekly fibre projects can require technicians to move equipment repeatedly between work areas.

The F7’s compact size and lightweight construction make transportation easier throughout the project.

Additionally, fibreSales supplies the unit with a carrying strap and carry case, helping technicians keep the equipment and accessories together when moving between sites.

Fibre Cleaver Included

Every F7 weekly hire package includes a Fibre Cleaver.

Fusion splicing requires a correctly prepared fibre end. Therefore, accurate cleaving remains an essential stage of the process.

The cleaver helps technicians prepare the fibre before placing it into the F7 for alignment and fusion.

The package also includes the Table for Cleaver.

Fibre Preparation Tools Included

fibreSales includes both a Fibre Stripper and Drop Cable Stripper in the F7 weekly hire package.

Technicians can use the appropriate stripping equipment during fibre preparation before cleaning and cleaving the fibre.

However, always use suitable fibre cleaning products during preparation.

Contamination can affect splicing and optical performance. Therefore, fibreSales recommends using professional Fibre Cleaning Products throughout fibre installation and termination work.

Cooling Tray Included

The weekly hire package includes a Cooling Tray.

After protecting the completed fusion splice, technicians can use the cooling tray as part of an organised splicing workflow before placing the protected fibre into the enclosure.

This becomes especially useful on larger projects where technicians complete many consecutive splices.

Complete F7 Weekly Hire Kit

The F7 Weekly Hire package gives technicians more than the fusion splicer alone.

By combining the splicer, cleaver, fibre preparation tools, power accessories and carrying equipment, fibreSales provides a practical package for professional field work.

Engineering Decision

Choose F7 Weekly Hire when you need a Core Alignment Fusion Splicer for several days or throughout a complete working week.

For a single short job, Daily Hire may provide the better option. However, weekly hire makes more sense when the project spans multiple days, requires schedule flexibility or involves a larger number of fibre splices.

Daily Hire vs Weekly Hire

Choosing the right hire period depends on your project schedule.

RequirementDaily HireWeekly Hire
One-day fibre projectIdealUsually unnecessary
Short repairIdealConsider if work may extend
Several days of splicingConsiderRecommended
Full working-week projectNoIdeal
Larger installationConsiderIdeal
Flexible multi-day accessLimitedBetter option
Temporary additional splicerYesIdeal for longer projects

Before booking, consider how many days you expect to splice rather than only the number of fibres.

Site delays, enclosure preparation, cable hauling, access restrictions and testing can all extend a fibre project.

Applications for F7 Weekly Hire

The F7 suits professional fibre projects across:

  • Telecommunications networks
  • FTTH and FTTx
  • Data centres
  • Fibre backbone installation
  • Campus networks
  • Commercial buildings
  • Industrial facilities
  • Fibre network upgrades
  • Maintenance projects
  • Fibre repair work
  • Infrastructure projects
  • Network expansions

Hire Additional Equipment When Required

Fusion splicing forms only one stage of fibre installation.

Depending on your project, you may also require equipment for testing, inspection and troubleshooting.

fibreSales supplies professional OTDRs for fibre testing and fault location.

Additionally, Fibre Inspection Microscopes allow technicians to inspect connector end faces before connection and testing.

Fibre Products for Your Installation

In addition to splicing equipment, fibreSales supplies the passive components required to complete fibre infrastructure.

Depending on your project, you may also require:

Planning these components before starting the project can help prevent delays once the hire period begins.

Already Own an F7?

If you already own an F7, fibreSales also supports the equipment with replacement and maintenance products.

Available F7 support includes:

  • F7 Fusion Splicer Replacement Battery
  • F7 Fusion Splicer Replacement Electrodes
  • F7 Fusion Splicer Calibration Service

Our F7 calibration service includes electrode replacement, motor re-alignment, calibration, a detailed report and calibration certificate.

Therefore, customers can hire an F7 when they need temporary equipment while also maintaining their existing fusion splicing equipment.
