ATEC offers a wide range of fusion splicer rentals. These devices allow technicians to fuse fiber optic cables, analyze splices, and retain cable quality. ATEC carries both single fiber and ribbon splicers.
What Is A Fusion Splicer?
A tool used to maintain and connect cable connections, fusion splicers are capable of permanently joining, or fusing, two fiber optic cables to make one longer cable. ATEC’s fiber splicers also include displays, which allow experts to visually inspect the fusion splice and whether complies with standards. Operators want to know if it is a good or bad splice, as in whether flaws are detected, so they can make corrections as needed.
How Does A Fusion Splicer Work?
Using an electric arc, fusion splicers melt and fuse two fiber optic cables into a single long fiber. The newly combined cable can then have optical light signals pass through with minimal loss. Able to perform evaluations and loss estimation, these devices are paramount to effective optical transmission.
A fiber optic fusion splicer is essential for creating long lengths of cable, although it can only provide an estimate of the splice loss. An OTDR, or
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, is necessary to verify splice loss with more precision. OTDRs fulfill Tier 2 certification testing and are used for analyzing the quality of fiber cabling and troubleshooting faults in the fiber.
How To Use A Fusion Splicer
- Make sure the fibers are clean and prepared for splicing.
- Choose the correct program for the fiber you need to splice.
- Start the automatic splicing process.
- Analyze the splice quality.
- Make any adjustments or corrections.
- Take steps to protect fibers from future damage.
