Fusion splicing involves melting and fusing the fibers together using an electric arc, resulting in a low-loss connection. Fiber optic pigtails are short, single, or multi-strand pieces of optical fiber cables with a connector on one end and exposed fiber on the other end. They are typically used to terminate fiber optic cables and connect them to patch panels, equipment, or other termination points. The first step in the production process is the selection of high-quality optical fibers.
