Fusion splicers and Splicing machine are the two important fiber optic equipments used for fiber optic cables splicing in with high speed and accuracy.
Fusion splicing is the process of joining two optical fibers with the use of heat. The aim of the fusion splicing is to integrate the two fibers together without affecting the original characteristics of the fibre. The strength and the originality of the fibers joined by fusion is necessary to ensure that light passing through the fibers is not either reflected or scattered by the splice, and adjoining portion of it. The heat source used in the fusion process can be a laser, an electric arc, or a gas flame. The fusion splicing uses localized heating of the two cable ends to fuse them together.
Process steps involved in the Optical Fusion Splicing
- Identification and evaluation of the splicing process to ensure the quality and compatibility of the selected process
- Inspection of the fiber optic splice closure material and accessories used in the fusion splicing process
- Fixing of the cables in the cable installation outlet without causing any damage to the fibers
- Preparation of the cable ends for the splicing process
- Positioning of the fibers inside the fusion tray
- Installation of the heat shrinkable sleeve and checking the heating unit along with the temperature controlle.
- Certification of the fusion joint using Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
Splicing Machine
- The splicing machines are used in various types of fiber applications where precision, speed and quality are the essential prerequisites.
- Typical applications include fiber-to-the-premises and fiber-to-the-home interconnections.
- These machines operate continuously in hostile environmental conditions without any interruption whatsoever.
- They are heat, water and shock resistant and compatible for all types of fiber optic filaments.
- They have built in battery backup system capable of providing continuous operation.
- Optical fiber fusion splicer is widely used in optical fiber communications, optical cable construction and maintenance work.
