What are the different methods of optical fiber fusion splicing
The two primary industry-accepted methods for fiber optic cable splicing are fusion splicing and mechanical splicing. The choice between them depends on performance requirements, budget constraints, and the specific application environment. Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. This technique ensures high-performance data transmission and is essential in extending cable runs, repairing broken links, or establishing new network paths in data. Fiber splicing means joining two optical fibers (permanently or temporarily) such that light guided in one fiber and reaching the joint (splice) can be transferred into the second fiber with low insertion loss. In this article, we will discuss the most commonly used optical.
