Functions and Applications of Single-Mode Fiber Optic Fusion Boxes
This application note describes fundamental theory and applications behind optical fiber splicing for mechanical and, in particular, fusion spliced joints. Various fiber preparation, alignment, splicing and testing methods are discussed, as well as safety. Nowadays, the fiber optic role is not limited in communication field but encompass in wide range of application such as medical, networking, military, aerospace and so on. The data sent should be free from any losses to ensure the information received is secure and high quality. Fiber optic joints or terminations are made two ways: 1) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers or 2) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear.
