Employees will immediately and thoroughly wash their hands after leaving the work area, where fiber optic cables are being spliced or terminated, or where bare fibers are being handled. This guide reveals the secrets to fusion splicing with little fluff—just proven, straightforward techniques refined from years of work in the field. Before optical fiber fusion splicing, you must first prepare the necessary operating equipment, tools and necessary materials such as fiber strippers, cutters, fusion splicers, heat shrinkable sleeves, alcohol cotton, etc. Any modifications made during construction, or discrepancies identified in the field, must be documented on the final As-Built (Path, Placing, or Splicing) and uploaded with the project and invoice. It involves joining two or more optical fibers together to create a continuous connection that allows light signals to travel.
