Fusion splicing involves the use of localized heat to melt together or fuse the ends of two optical fibers. The preparation process involves removing the protective coating from each fiber, precise cleaving, and inspection of the fiber end-faces. How to melt indoor optical fiber optic cables,It is important to properly melt indoor optical fiber optic cables when splicing or terminating them to ensure that the connection is strong and reliable. It helps to be working in an area that has good light and is not dusty. For photo purposes, we use a light colored background, but a black background on the workspace makes it easier. This virtual hands-on page will take you through the steps involved in the process. If you have your own equipment, do the recommended exercises. The splicer employs an electric arc to ensure fibers are precisely aligned.
