  • How to connect fiber optic cables using a fusion-free connector

    How to connect fiber optic cables using a fusion-free connector

    Mechanical splicing is a method of connecting two optical fibers without using heat or a fusion machine. To connect the two fiber optic cables together, a popular method nowadays is using an fiber fusion splicing machine. This is because the optical fiber is made of quartz, we can't just tie it directly like a copper conductor wire. It is tricky to use the coupler. You should leave the grand and cap at the last step, otherwise, it might twist the fiber core. Get the wrong connector type, the wrong polish, or skip proper fusion splicing technique—and you're looking at elevated signal loss, increased back reflection, and a. Fiber cable splicing is the process of permanently joining two optical fibers end-to-end to allow light signals to pass through with minimal loss.
