Fusion splicing is generally applied on single mode fibers but in some special cases it can also be used for multi mode fibers. Splicing fiber optic cable ends together is often a precise process with hardly any room for error. The fusion splicer automatically detects the fiber type, such as single-mode (SM), multimode (MM), or dispersion-shifted (DS) fibers, and adjusts parameters like arc power and heating time accordingly. Static electricity is an enemy of fiber optics and splicer electronics, especially in dry environments and/or air conditioning. Compared to mechanical splicing: The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA-568.
