Fiber optic cable splicing and testing procedures are described. Key steps for splicing include: 1) preparing the cable by removing insulation and cleaning the fiber cores, 2) placing protective sleeves on the cores, 3) stripping and cleaving the fibers, 4) aligning and splicing the fibers using an arc fusion splicer to achieve the lowest possible loss, and 5) placing the spliced section in a protective sleeve and tray. Fiber testing uses an OTDR to automatically measure loss, distance, and locate faults by launching an optical signal and analyzing the returned signal. Test results are saved and a report is printed with loss, length, reference loss and other details.

Fiber Optic Testing and Termination
Fiber Optic cable Testing procedure Using Arc
FusionSplicer-FSM-60S Fiber optic cable fusion splicing provides the lowest-db loss. Special equipment called Arc fusion splicer is used to perform the fiber fusion splicing. High precision arc fusion splices are using to achieve lowest db loss. This equipment can be used for different type of fibers SM, MM.etc.
Fiber optic cable splicing procedure
1. Glanding:- Proper clamp or gland will be used to secure the fiber cable. 2. Preparation:-Remove all the PVC insulation and armored sheathing. Put the fiber cable in to the fiber shelf. 3. Surface Cleaning:-Use a jelly or other cleaner to clean the fiber cable. 4. Cleaning:-Clean the fiber cores with pure [99%] alcohol. Clean the fiber with high quality alcohol because dust partials from the fiber coating surface can be enter inside the protection sleeve and might result in a future fiber break.
5. Sleeves: - Place the required length protection sleeve each core
carefully. 6. Fiber Stripping: - Remove outer coating of fiber cores required length as per fiber type with a precision stripping tool. Clean the bared fiber core with pure [99%] alcohol.
7. Cleaving:- Set the stripped fiber on the cleaver to cleave the fiber. Proper cleaving is a main important step for a good result.
8. Start:- Clean the equipment before starting the work. Use select mode for determine fiber cable type if fiber type is not identified to select Auto splice mode.
9. Mounting:-Set the cleaved fiber core onto the fiber holder with protruding required length as per the fiber type 10.
11.
Alignment & Splicing:-Loading the fiber to the arc Fusion
splicer between the v-groove edge and tip of electrode. After
completion of fiber automatic alignment arc discharge is performed to splice the fibers.
12.
Splice Loss:-Estimated splice loss is displayed upon
completion of splicing. Splice loss is affected by certain factors.
13.
. Make sure the splice point is located at the center of the
protection sleeve.
14.
Place fiber with protection sleeve in the center of the tube
heater. The heating cycle starts automatically as soon on the tube
heater is closed.
15.
Take out the protected sleeve fiber core from the tube heater
and put inside fiber splice tray. Arrange spliced fiber core properly in the shelf. FIBER OPTIC CABLE TESTING PROCEDURE USING ANRITSU ACCESS MASTER OTDR MT-9083A 063(Optical Time Demine Reflect Meter i.

The OTDR Function provides the capability of Measuring connection loss,
fiber loss, and distance of an Optical Fiber .You can Locate Defects and Faults and determine the amount of signal loss at any point in an Optical Fiber. The analysis function automatically detects event positions such as spice point with loss exceeding the present threshold or returns loss and list the data in an event table
