Fiber optic fusion splicer 

Fiber optic splicing is the operation to join two pieces together and get an accurate result. For that, human can not do it by themselves like soldering wires with solder and iron. With a special melding station, that would be professional and easy.

Before we do this mission we should prepare necessary items to get fantastic final product.

Fiber optic stripper 

It is dedicated to remove extra plastic layers and reach the core. It has different small curves to let fiber optic fit correctly.

After using this tool, a transparent layer is till on the fiber to protect it, so to remove it we use a special soft wipes those can help to reach the fiber's core then move to another tool.

After reaching the core, the fiber is ready to be cut, but that should be a precise cut and has 90 degree edges  to eventually have a soft-clean join between two pieces.

The fiber must be fixed during the cut operation, this tool is provide it by a clips to catch the fiber.

Two pieces are ready to be joined-with fusion splicer and its easy interface- the mission would be fun because fusion splicer has a screen to help us look deeply at this connection.

The final join looks so good, but we still need one procedure to guarantee that this connection is correct. Laser generator tool will allow passing laser from the start till the end of the fiber.

The laser light travels through the fiber and if there any problem, that would be as a leakage light runs away from fiber optic.

Electrodes 

Two metal pieces are standing opposite each other vertically with the fiber optic, which allows making a join between fiber pieces.

Each couple of these electrodes can do about 5000 welding orders, then they should be replaced. After the welding process, the joining point will have a high temperature and it needs to get cold quickly, for that, there is a cooling try on the fusion splicer 

Design benefits 

Each company has its  design, and most of them are trying to provide the market with amazing attractive products, but the price is still high a little bit for these reasons:

• Operating system and different features.
• Touch screen or buttons interface.
• Degree of protection against outdoor factors.
• The efficiency of welding.
• How easy to use and the ability to connect with the phone.
• Weight. 
• Internal battery capacity.
