Fusion Splicing

Fusion splicing, if performed correctly will provide the lowest loss when compared to other splicing methods. The process of performing a fusion splice involves applying a focused heat source that will fuse the two fibres together. For this action, a piece of equipment known as a Fusion Splicer is used.

Fusion splicers, such as those used by ourselves will line up the two pieces of fibre based on lining up the two cores, or on the x-y-z axis. A current is passed between two electrodes and the glass is literally welded together. The completed splices are protected by a plastic splice sleeve which is shrunk onto the fibre using an integrated oven on the splicing unit. Each ‘spliced’ fibre is then inserted into a splice tray for storage.
