Fiber optic cable splicing is strictly prohibited in open-air operations
It is strictly forbidden to operate in the open air in a dusty and humid environment. The connection parts of the optical cable, tools and materials should be kept clean, and the optical fiber connector should not be allowed to get wet. Before splicing, according to the material and type of the optical fiber, set the key parameters such as the optimal pre-melting main melting current and time, and the amount of fiber feeding. During the welding process, the "V" groove, electrode, objective lens, welding chamber, etc. Fusion splicing joins two fiber optic strands by melting their ends together with an electrical arc, and employers who assign this work must comply with several overlapping OSHA standards covering everything from arc-generated fumes to flammable cleaning solvents and confined-space entry. Cables must be joined due to route length limitations, branching requirements, repairs after damage, or network upgrades.
