"To replace the damaged parts or create long-running, seamless way to connect a cable section, not the introduction of high signal loss Fusion Splicer method of choice early in the fiber, fusion splicing is a rigorous and arduous task today - although need to be careful - editing process is very simple, fully automated key steps.
  1.Strip both ends of the fiber-optic cable from the outer sheath. This includes aramid fiber strength and inner coating. Fusion splicer instructions will tell you how far back area, and fiber stripper, will detail how to place and pull the fiber.
  2, clean bare fiber Fusion Splicer. Use alcohol wipe or lint-free cloth soaked in alcohol wipe exposed fiber, until it "squeak."
  3. Welding the two fiber ends. Caught in the fibers of their respective holders so that they can safely and reliably automate the integration process adjustment.
  4.Turn welding and validation, it set the fuse you are using the fiber type. And, if necessary, select the appropriate program. Fibers melt welding current, and the correct amount of current, needs to be done will vary, the fiber size and material may be.
  5.Press the start button. Welding inspection cleavage face, align them, heat and press together. Even some splicers run automated test procedures to verify the Fusion Splicer performance.
  6.Move welding heat shrink tubing, and shrink using heat gun down splicing area. Some of the welding machine has a full water heater, so you can complete this step, use the splicer itself.
