This document discusses different types of optical fiber splicing including mechanical and fusion splicing. It provides details on the splicing procedure such as end preparation, stripping, cleaving, and cleaning. Mechanical splicing involves bonding two fibers together using an adhesive, while fusion splicing fuses the two fibers together using heat. The document compares the reflection losses, insertion losses, and costs of mechanical and fusion splicing. It also lists some manufacturers of fusion splicers such as Fujikura, Ericsson, and Fitel and provides their product specifications and pricing.

scope Types of splicing Splicing procedure Losses Comparison Manufacturers Cost
types of splicing Mechanical Fusion (welding) scribe & break End preparation Striping (cable jacket, buffer tube & coating) Cleaving Cleaning the end surface
mechanical splicing bonding two fibers together in an alignment structure Transparent adhesive - e.g. epoxy resin Commonly used groove - V-groove Alignment problems
Advantage - consistent and easily controlled heat with adaptability
Possible drawback - weakening of fiber in the vicinity of splice splice tray Stores and organizes the fiber & splice Protects fibers Prevents fibers from exceeding the minimum bending radius Establishes long haul links
comparison Mechanical splicing Fusion splicing Reflection losses (-45 db to -55 db) No reflection losses Insertion loss (0.2 db) Very low insertion loss (0.1 db to .15 db) cost high Comparatively less splicing losses Intrinsic - Freznel reflection Extrinsic - foreign particles on surfaces Reflection - incident and reflected beam travel on the same path
what do we achieve by splicing? Clear Better appearance Greater strength fusion splicer FSM-16S
