Fiber Optic Cable: Mechanical Splice

Welcome to FOA's "Fiber U Classic Movies." These classic videotapes were created in the late 1990s for Fiber U training. While many things in fiber optics have changed, the processes and components shown here are the same as they were back then. Enjoy the "classics" and learn how it is done from the pros.
Fiber Optic Cable
- Mechanical Splice
This video shows how to splice two fibers using a mechanical splice. It covers cable preparation, fiber preparation, cleaving, splicing and using a visual fault locator to optimize the splice.
