Method for Longitudinal Splicing of Optical Cable Reel
It describes three main splicing methods - de-matable connectors, mechanical splices, and fusion splices. Fusion splicing welds two fibers together using an electric arc and provides the lowest loss. The invention discloses a longitudinal-cutting splicing method for an optical cable bundle tube, which comprises the following steps: step S1, stripping the optical cable; step S2, fixing the optical cable; step S3, an optical fiber splicing step; step S4, a splice box assembling step; step S5. Splicing is typically required during cable installation, maintenance, or network expansion. For network managers and technicians, a poor splice can lead to significant signal degradation, network downtime, and costly troubleshooting. This chapter looks at the correct methods of preparing, cleaving, splicing, and protecting optical fibers using a cross-section of splicing equipment and techniques.
