Fusion Splicing

Combination splicer and laboratory thanks to Associated Technical College, San Diego.

The procedure is straightforward: the driver strips, cleans up and cleaves the inserts and fibers them right into the owners on the blend splicer. The splicer “pre-fuses” the fibers in a reduced power arc to cleanse off any kind of dust and pre-heat the fibers. It runs the blend procedure, lining up the fibers, merging them in a high power arc and approximates the loss based on fiber positioning.

These traditional videos were produced in the late 1990s for Fiber U training. While several points in fiber optics have actually transformed, the parts and procedures revealed right here are the very same as they were back after that.
