Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and most reliable joint between two fibers. Check out the photo of the one we recently completed!
ATD has the best fusion splicer on the market from the industry leader in fusion splicers, the #Fujikura core alignment fusion splicer.
Here is an article on why fusion splice is needed and the 2 types of fusion splice machines. https://www.cablinginstall.com/articles/print/volume-25/issue-10/features/technology/fusion-splicing-for-critical-low-loss-applications.html
