Basic Steps to Create a Fusion Splice
Where is a fusion splice located and how is it done? The process to produce a fusion splice joint consists of several steps. Among a need for a fusion splicer, these involve also different types of tools and preparation instrument.
- Fusion splices are located near termination nodes and at jointing points of optical cable sections
- Open fiber ends get arranged in the fiber excess storage of the closure or the termination hardware
- Fiber end faces receive special treatments to be ready for a fusion splice
- A splicing machine produces a permanent connection between both open fiber ends
- The exposed area around the splice location needs a protection to withstand the harsh environment
- The finished splice is stored in an organizer of the closure or the termination hardware
