Watch the fiber display for bubbles, fiber offset, or arc stability issues that could signify a defective splice. Fiber optic pigtails are used to connect fiber optic cables using fusion or mechanical splicing. What is a mechanical splice? What is a fusion splice? Why splice? Fiber splicing is one way to join two optical fibers together so the light energy from one optical fiber can be transferred to another. Static electricity is an enemy of fiber optics and splicer electronics, especially in dry environments and/or air conditioning.
