Designed for simultaneous fusion of multiple strands, up to 12 at once, ribbon splicers increase efficiency and reduce splicing time for large count fiber optic cables. They maintain typical splice losses below 0. 1 dB per fiber, thanks to mass fusion technology. Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. This method boasts minimal insertion loss and negligible back reflection, ensuring robust connections that stand the test of time. Splicers are commonly used in: Core vs. Static electricity can build up in your clothes and body, so the use of anti-static wrist straps and/or an anti-static mat may help in preventing this from happening.
