Can optical cables and drop cables be spliced
Infield installations, splicing is a faster and more efficient method and is used to restore fiber optic cables when a buried cable is accidentally severed. Another method of connecting optical fibers is termination or connectorization, which consists of processing the end of a fiber optic bundle so that it can be connected to other fibers or devices through fiber optic. When deploying fiber optic cabling, one of the most critical decisions is how to terminate the fiber—either by splicing or using connectors. Splicing is typically required during cable installation, maintenance, or network expansion.
