Fiber optic splicing in Boston, MA has been the mostly preferred alternative when it comes to telecommunications network projects. However, even if it simply involves joining two fiber optic cables together, it is still necessary to hire professional fiber optic technicians to do the job.
These technicians are well trained on the two methods of fiber optic splicing, namely fusion splicing and mechanical splicing. Being adept in these methods, you can also consult with them about which choice is best between them based on what fits your short and long-term economic and performance goals.
Fusion Splicing precisely aligns and permanently affixes two or more optical fibers together in order to produce a continuous connection between them that will result in a lower light loss during transmission. This method involves individual steps of preparing, cleaving, fusing, and protecting the fiber.
On the other hand, Mechanical Splicing does not weld the optical fibers to hold them in place. This method uses alignment devices designed to hold the optical fibers in a precisely aligned position. It makes use of a self-contained assembly rather than a permanent bond, resulting in a common centerline that enables light to pass from one fiber to another.
Consult a professional fiber optic technician from ElecComm to know which method can best work for your network.
