  • The function of ribbon fusion splicers for ordinary optical cables

    The function of ribbon fusion splicers for ordinary optical cables

    The splicer measures light coupling through fiber while moving fibers on actuators to get best transmission which means the fibers are optimally aligned. Both techniques work well with most fibers. 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. This is accomplished with a machine called a fusion splicer that performs two basic functions: aligning of the fibers and melting them together, typically using an electric arc. Pre-routed and preloaded, pigtailed splice cassettes reduce installation time by up to 40%. Today, fusion splicing. The technology of ribbon fiber optic cables is well-established in the telecommunications industry and is favored for its high fiber density and compact size.
