A 50-Second Skimmer into Fusion Splicing Process
2
Heres a quick snapshot at the process of Fusion
splicing. All it will take you is 50-seconds.
Fusion splicing definition Fusion splicing is
done for two ends of the fibre optic cables. It
is similar to the welding process. The only
difference in fusion splicing is that the
materials involved are glass bunches and not
metals. Like welding, the splicing is done by
using localized heat. It could either be an
electric arc or a laser shot.

Types of Fusion splicing Depending on the
splicing environment and the industrial
application, fibre optic cable splicer machines
are classified as-    Field Splicing Kit -   
Factory Fusion Splicer -    Laboratory Splicer
machine There is another set of classification
depending on the medium where splicing is
done. For example, Marine fusion splicer
machines are used for under-sea deployment
submarines. Aerial fusion splice tools are used
for space ships and aeroplanes.

splicing, get familiar with the principals
of-    Optical Wave Guide Theory-    Heat

Features of Fusion SplicingFusion splicing used
on fibre optic cables is a permanent alliance.
Unlike the use of fibre optic connectors, the
fused cables cant be detached. The features
associated with the fusion splicing are-   
Quick operation that takes less than 30 minutes
-    Easy alignment if fusion splicer machine is
used -    It saves resources and
cost-effective-    Loss through the fusion
spliced fibre optic cables is measured at less
than 0.2 decibels across a length of   124
miles.-    The strength of the fused site is
impeccable.

Position of the Fusion splicing technique in the
industry In the digital age, it goes without
saying that fibre optic cables form the
connectivity face of the IT industry. In optical
network, the precision of fusion splicing process
can make or break business. Poor quality fusion
splicing at the fibre optic cable ends could
result in significant loss of data and
interference during transmission. Loss of data or
corruption means loss of revenue.This is the
exact reason why the best in the industry prefer
to go with the fusion splicer machines.
7
The fusion splicer machines are preferred over
mechanical splicer for two reasons1.    Fusion
splicer machines involve use of precision
cleaving and alignment models 2.    The
automatic dusting and removal of dirt and
moisture is taken care by the fusion splicer
machine
8
Objective of the Fusion splicing technique The
primary objective of the fibre optic fusion
splicer technique is to achieve the same quality
of physical and data transmission properties as
the original cables. Closer the resemblance,
higher will be the efficiency of the spliced
cables.
9
Fusion splicing is done to achieve-   
Impeccable physical strength without compromising
on the quality of signal transmission -   
Elongation of the fibre optic cables without
involving any fibre optic connectors-   
Long-term reliability in terms of signal
transmission across a variable medium -    Zero
maintenance as far as replacement of fibre optic
cables are concerned
