The challenges and innovative solutions in fusion splicing

When it comes to access networks, fiber optic cables are no longer mere upgrades from other forms of connectivity. With their unparalleled ability to carry high volumes of data over long distances, as well as their proven reliability, fiber optic cables have become an essential part of the world’s communication networks.

Creating these crucial fiber optic networks involves joining together separate fiber optic cables and the individual fiber optic strands in a process called splicing. These splices can be accomplished by precisely clamping together two bare fiber optic stand ends in a sleeve, or, now more commonly, by fusing the ends together using the electric arc of a fiber optic fusion splicing machine. Not too long ago, fiber terminations and splicing were far more complicated. But, due to the development of precise fusion splicing equipment, that is no longer the case. Fusion splicing can be learned within a few hours. Additionally, UCL Swift’s all-in-one fusion splicers have all the steps for fiber splicing and termination onboard the machine itself. 

In this report, we’ll examine the latest developments, challenges, and techniques in fusion splicing and how they impact network performance. We will cover the latest fusion splicing challenges, provide tips, and discuss the latest fiber splicing solutions UCL Swift and distributed by NWS across North America.
