Splicing and Testing
Our fibre solution gives the service provider full expert planning and project management in exciting access site builds and full turnkey delivery to the client.
Fibre optic splicing is the process of joining two or more fibres together. We ensure that the fibre is spliced correctly to avoid network disruptions by deploying a new fibre optic network or expanding an existing network. When speaking about splicing, we refer to re-join a fibre optic cable that was accidentally damaged or broken. We also do Splicing to fuse two fibres to create a long enough fibre for the required cable to run.
We follow the two methods of splicing: Mechanical splicing and Fusion splicing. Mechanical splicing is only ideal for a quick or temporary restoration, not for permanent splices. The most common method of splicing fibres together is fusion splicing, which permanently fuses fibres using an electric arc. This method is far more popular than mechanical splicing because it provides the lowest loss, less reflectance and the strongest joint between the fibres. We always handle the fibre with care, and testing is done after the fibre has been spliced mechanically or Fusion has been completed.
The technicians we send out to provide you with a service to fix your connection are also equipped to do the testing on the splice to verify that it is strong and has a low loss. The technician will add the test data to the documentation for future reference and present it to whoever is in charge to verify if the installation has been done correctly.
