This document describes the steps and considerations for performing fiber optic splicing. It explains that the fiber must be cleaned and cut correctly using the
The predominant approaches include fusion splicing, employing thermal energy to integrate fiber tips, and mechanical splicing, utilizing a structural holder to position fibers.
Upon completion, students will be able to perform professional-grade terminations, identify cable types by color code, and maintain power systems for optical nodes.
For outside plant work, fusion splicing is almost always the right choice. Mechanical splices are faster for emergency restoration but have higher typical loss (0.2-0.5dB vs. 0.02-0.1dB for fusion) and degrade
