In this video, you'll see the full fiber splicing process — from fiber preparation, cleaving, and fusion splicing to final testing. Before jumping into the physical steps, it's important to understand the two primary methods of fiber splicing: fusion splicing and. In this guide, we cover the basics of fiber optic splicing, how to perform splicing using two different methods, and finally some best practices to perform good fiber splicing. What is Fiber Optic Splicing and Why is it Needed? – #1. Unlike using connectors, which are designed for frequent connection and disconnection at patch panels, splicing creates a permanent, stable joint with minimal light loss.
