  • Why do fiber optic cables need fusion splices

    Why do fiber optic cables need fusion splices

    Fusion splicing is used for joining cables during network installation projects, repairing cables, mounting pre-polished splice-on connectors, and many applications in factories that make fiber optic components and subsystems. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the. Fusion splicing is joining two fibers together by melting the two fibers together. Result is a near-seamless / lossless joint. The article below offers more detail on fusion-splicing procedures, especially the fiber “prep. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and most reliable joint between two fibers.
