Fibre splicing and fibre optic cable repairs

What is Fiber Splicing?

Fiber optic splicing is the process of joining two different fiber optic cables and creating one functioning cable. When done correctly, splicing creates a cable with improved durability and minimal loss.

Fusion Splicing

Fusion splicing is the most used method of fiber optic splicing and the main one we will discuss. Rather than using a cover to align the cables, this method involves heating and melting the ends together. This creates a much more durable connection that can reduce loss to 0.02 dB. Between increased durability and improved performance, technicians usually opt to use a fusion splicer when possible.

Fusion Splicing

Fusion splicing is also the most reliable method for single-mode fibers. Different from multimode fibers, single-mode fibers have a thin core that transmits signals without touching the fiber’s edges. Since fusion splicing won’t alter the fiber’s structure, it is recommended for long-term fixes
