Pigtails
Established technology with a pedigree of resilience. Traditional Fusion Splice-On Connectors with pigtails provide factory-polished performance with field
Tutorial Passive Fiber Optics, Part 6: Fiber Joints
Another technique is fusion splicing, where the fibers are fused together, e.g. using an electrical arc. This leads to particularly low insertion loss and high return loss, if the two fiber cores are similar.
Fusion Splice-On Fiber Optic Connectors
Field termination allows for deployment of custom fiber links without added time and planning typically required for pre-terminated assemblies, while using the real-time splice loss calculations of typical
