Fiber Optic Cable Splicing Explained
To begin, the standard definition of splicing in optical fiber is joining two fiber optic cables together. The other, more common, method of joining fibers is

Fiber optic splicing creates an accurate connection between fiber cores and involves delicate operations such as fiber stripping, fiber cleaving, core aligning and coupling, etc. There are generally two methods of optic cable splicing: mechanical splicing and fusion splicing. 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. Splicing is typically required during cable installation, maintenance, or network expansion.
