Fusion Splicing - The Basics

When connecting bare fiber, Fusion Splicing is the most commonly used approach. Fusion Splicing has the least loss and reflectance and also provides the strongest joint of the different connectorizing methods. A Fusion Splicer connects two ends of a Fiber by virtue of welding, using an electrical arc. Each Fusion Splicer works slightly different, this page provides an overview on the different Splicers available and the steps which they have in common.

The S185 Series FUSION SPLICER

Step 1: Preparing the Fiber

This step is similar to other connectorizing methods and is explained here.
