Don't Miss this Super-Detailed Tutorial on Fiber Splicing and Winding! The operation and skills of fiber optic fusion splicing technology can be mainly divided into five steps: fiber stripping, fiber cutting, fiber melting, fiber sleeve, and fiber winding. See the FOA Virtual Hands-On for the process of fiber optic cable splicing (PDF). 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. In this guide, you will find a chronological description of the fusion splicing process, the principal technical standards, and answers to the real-life questions network engineers and procurement teams may have.
