For Fusion Splicing: Place both fiber ends into a fusion splicer. The machine automatically aligns them using core or cladding alignment technology, then fuses them with an electric arc. Splicing is typically required during cable installation, maintenance, or network expansion. The process, which can be performed using fusion or mechanical methods, ensures continuity in optical signal transmission which is vital for high-speed internet, telephony, and broadcast. Fiber optic splicing involves joining two fiber optic cables to create a continuous optical path. Utilizing a fusion splicer, this technique involves two fundamental steps: fiber alignment and melting.
