Fusion splicing
Fibres are aligned and fused with an electric arc, giving low-loss joints.
Testing
- OTDR traces show distance to events and losses
- Power meter tests confirm end-to-end loss
- Bidirectional testing improves accuracy
- Records for every core
Common problems
Macro-bends, dirty connectors and bad splices cause high loss.
Handover
OTDR reports and loss tables are part of acceptance.
