Protecting Splices
Splices require placement in a protective case. They are generally placed in a splice tray which is then placed inside a splice closure for OSP installations or a patch panel box for premises applications. At splice closures and at each end, cables with metallic shielding or strength members must be properly grounded and bonded.
- Which Splice ?
If cost is the issue, we've given you the clues to make a choice: fusion requires expensive equipment and but makes cheap splices, while Mechanical Splices require inexpensive equipment and expensive splice hardware. So if you make a lot of splices (like thousands in an big telco or CATV network) use fusion splices. If you need just a few, use mechanical splices.
Fusion splices give very low back reflections and are preferred for singlemode high speed digital or CATV networks. However, they may not work well some multimode fibers, so mechanical splices may be preferred for MM, unless it is an underwater or aerial application, where the greater reliability of the fusion splice is preferred.
- Making Good Splices
Making consistently low loss splices depends on proper techniques and keeping equipment in good shape. Cleanliness is a big issue, of course. Fiber strippers should be kept clean and in good condition and be replaced when nicked or worn. Cleavers are most important, as the secret to good splices - either fusion or mechanical - is having good cleaves on both fibers. Keep cleavers clean and have the scribing blades aligned and replaced regularly.
Fusion splicers should be properly maintained and fusing parameters set for the fibers being spliced. For mechanical splices, light pressure on the fiber to keep the ends together while crimping is important. Use a visual fault locator (VFL) to optimize the splice before crimping if possible.
