Whether it is used as a vertical backbone or to link buildings across a campus, fibre optic cabling is typically installed and presented into a patch panel, where fibres are terminated by either a fusion splicer or mechanical splice using an adhesive, commonly known as cold cure. Common splicing methods include optical fiber cold splicing and optical cable hot fusion splicing. Its advantages include: Simple operation and. Fiber optic joints or terminations are made two ways: 1) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers or 2) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear. Brief. Optical fiber transmission has the advantages of wide transmission frequency, large communication capacity, low loss, no electromagnetic interference, small diameter of optical cable, light weight, rich source of raw materials, etc.
