Fusion splicers are more expensive

Fusion splicers are more expensive than the assembly tool required for a mechanical splice. However, they provide the lowest-loss splice possible. In addition, fusion splices do not produce Fresnel reflections.

Fusion splicing is the most accurate and durable method for joining two optical fibers. After the optical fibers are stripped and cleaved, they are placed into the fusion splicer, where the optical fibers are aligned between two electrodes, as shown in Figure 25.29. Alignment may be accomplished several ways depending on the type of fusion splicer used.

Fusion splicers lebih mahal daripada alat perakitan diperlukan untuk sambatan mekanik. Namun, mereka menyediakan sambatan terendah kemungkinan kerugian. Selain itu, splices fusi tidak menghasilkan Fresnel refleksi. Fusion splicing adalah metode yang paling akurat dan tahan lama untuk bergabung dua serat optik. Setelah serat optik ditelanjangi dan dibelah, mereka ditempatkan ke dalam splicer fusi, dimana serat optik selaras antara dua elektroda, seperti yang ditunjukkan pada Gambar 25,29. Keselarasan dapat dicapai dengan beberapa cara, tergantung pada jenis fusion splicer digunakan.
