Fiber optic cable splicing loose tube

In this video, we show you how to terminate loose-tube fiber to a splice-on connector using the KF4A — an All-In-One active clad fusion splicer from UCL Swift. moreThe cable that started the fiber optic revolution in the 1970s was the loose tube configuration, which isolated the optical fiber from the strains of installation by enclosing everything within fairly rigid protective sleeves or tubes. This design is still widely used today in harsh outdoor. Mass fusion splicing is a procedure that saves time and lowers labor costs by simultaneously splicing 12 fibers at a time. The savings is most significant with higher fiber count cables. The need to ribbonize loose-tube fibers and to perform m...
