In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to splice fiber optic cables like a pro โ perfect for telecom technicians, network engineers, and field techs. more ๐ง Watch a real-time fiber optic splicing demo in action! In this step-by-step. Inserting Fibers In Splicer Strip fibers and cleave first Raise splicer hood located in the middle of the top of the unit Release fiber clamps by pushing the activators toward the rear of the unit. Lift the clamp lever to raise both the bare fiber clamps and the coated fiber clamps simultaneously. Fiber optics is the fastest and one of the safest ways to transmit information online. Fiber optic strands are ultra-lightweight and about as thin as human hair, and yet, they have more than eight times the pulling tension of a copper wire. There are two basic categories of splices: Mechanical and Fusion. Fusion splicing uses a machine to โweldโ fibers together in an electric arc.
