Fiber fusion splicing

Organized splices. A clear record of the link.

FryAVSI performs fusion splicing for defined fiber repairs, extensions and terminations, with attention to fiber identification, protection and the completed link.

When splicing is the right next step

A damaged cable, a new termination enclosure or a route extension may call for fusion splicing. We review the cable condition, fiber type, available slack and splice location before choosing the repair approach.

Compatibility matters. Share cable markings, strand count and any existing splice records. Ribbon work, unusual fibers and high-count requirements need specific equipment and crew review before acceptance.

Access to both link ends and an approved interruption window help the team identify the right fibers and verify the outcome without disturbing neighboring services.

From fiber identification to protected splice

  1. Identify. Confirm the intended fibers and record the existing arrangement.
  2. Prepare and join. Prepare compatible fibers and complete the splice using the appropriate setup.
  3. Protect. Place protected splices and fiber slack in suitable trays or enclosures.
  4. Check and record. Complete the agreed checks and update the fiber and splice schedule.

A splicer reading is an estimate

A fusion splicer’s displayed loss estimate is not a measurement of the finished end-to-end link. Acceptance should use the test method and limits specified for the project.

We can scope optical power or loss checks with compatible test equipment. Where OTDR evidence or specialist testing is required, the suitable equipment or testing resource is arranged as part of the quote.

The closeout should identify the repaired fibers, splice location, test evidence and any remaining dependency. Temporary restoration measures are recorded separately from the final repair plan.
