Infield installations, splicing is a faster and more efficient method and is used to restore fiber optic cables when a buried cable is accidentally severed. Another method of connecting optical fibers is termination or connectorization, which consists of processing the end of a fiber optic bundle so that it can be connected to other fibers or devices through fiber optic. Think of a fiber optic cable splice as the seamless stitching that keeps data flowing through the delicate threads of a network—like a master tailor joining fabric with precision. Each cable contains one or more thin glass or plastic strands called optical fibers. Light travels through these fibers at very high speed, carrying huge amounts of data.
