Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of optical fiber fusion splicers

A comparison with other methods for making fiber joints highlights the main advantages, such as superior stability and performance, and disadvantages, like the high equipment cost. The importance of high-quality splices for high-power fiber devices is also explained. Splicing is typically required during cable installation, maintenance, or network expansion. The goal is to achieve the lowest possible optical loss (signal. The basic difference between the two methods is simple: with fusion splicing, the fibres are melted and fused (welded) together, creating a permanent connection, whereas with mechanical Splicing, they are aligned and clamped together using an adhesive (not melted). Fusion s...
