Fiber Optic Fusion SplicersSplicing fiber optic cables together is a much more complex process than splicing metal wires. To properly join two fiber cables together requires the use of a fusion splicer. Using a fusion splicer in conjunction with a fiber cleaver ensures that the cables are joined together absolutely perfectly. Anything less than an absolutely perfect splice can cause light loss which can lead to data transmission errors and network downtime. Fusion splicers come in two varieties, single fiber splicers and ribbon or mass fusion splicers. Single fusion splicers can fuse one pair of cables together at a time while mass or ribbon splicers can fuse multiple fiber cables together simultaneously. For a further explanation of how the splicing process works be sure to read our fusion splicing guide. Some of the most prominent manufacturers of fusion splicing devices are Fujikura, Sumitomo, Ericsson, Fitel, and Corning Cable Systems. All of these fiber optic equipment providers are well respected in the telecom and datacom industries because they consistently produce top-quality equipment. No matter which company you choose to provide your fiber splicing equipment you can rest assured that you're getting equipment of the highest caliber. At Fiber Optic Tool Supply you'll find the lowest discount prices on new and used fiber optic fusion splicers and other fiberoptic equipment.
