  • Optical cable splicing using the snap-in method

    Optical cable splicing using the snap-in method

    This method is a simple device designed to accurately align two ends of an optical fiber with a mechanical assembly so light can pass from one end to the other. The fibers formed by this type of splicing are not permanently attached but are held in the exact position. Use and Maintain Your. Fiber optic splicing is the process of joining two fiber optic cables together so that light signals can pass with minimal loss or reflection. Splicing is typically required during cable installation, maintenance, or network expansion. For network managers and technicians, a poor splice can lead to significant signal degradation, network downtime, and costly troubleshooting. Termination is the other, more frequent way of linking fibers.
