How to Fusion Splice a Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cables provide a reliable and fast method of data transfer. However, it's simply impossible to make a single fiber long enough to match the length of cable necessary for most networks. This is where splicing the fibers comes into play. Fusion splicing your fiber optic cables will give you the length you need. The process isn't difficult with the appropriate equipment.
Instructions Preparation
- Take off the outside sheath of the fiber optic cable with the rotary stripper.
- Cut the aramid strength member with the ceramic scissors.
- Strip away the buffer layer from the fiber with fiber strippers---you want to get down to about 35 mm.
- Wipe the end of the prepared fiber tip with isopropyl alcohol. Do NOT touch the end of the fiber with your bare hands, since the oil on your hands will attract contaminants like dirt and dust that will affect the refraction index of the cable.

Cleaving
- Place the prepared fiber into the groove on the cleaving machine.
- Clamp the cables in place in the cleaving machine.
- Close the cleaving machine lid and press the cleaving lever to complete the cleaving process.
Splicing and Finishing
- Put two prepared cable tips into the splicing machine.
- Press start on the splicing machine---it will tell you when the process is complete.
- Take the spliced fibers out of the splicing machine and put on the heat shrink protector (tube) over the joint where the fibers are spliced.
- Put the spliced fibers (with protector tube) into the heat shrink oven and allow the oven to shrink the tube around the splice point.
