Fiber Optic Fusion Splicing Solution Design
A practical guide to fiber optic splicing techniques, tools, and best practices from Richesin Engineering's field crew. Fiber Stripping: Selecting Precise Tools and Techniques Selecting the appropriate stripper will depend on the fiber coating diameter. This will typically be 250µm for bare fibers and 900µm for coated fibers. This process is also completed by a sophisticated tool called a Fusion Splicer, which aids in the alig ment, inspection, and curing process. Fusion fiber optic splicing provides a permanent fusion connection between fibers and offers a lower insertion loss versus mechanical splicing.
