Fusion splicing provides a permanent fusion connection between fibers and offers a lower insertion loss versus mechanical splicing. The fusion splicer can estimate the loss of the fusion splice, reducing uncertainty compared to mechanical splicing or field polishing. With the steady decrease of fusion splicer prices, splice modules, splicing pigtails and splice-on connectors have quickly become popular termination options.
Leviton offers a full range of fusion splicing solutions, including splice modules in our popular HDX and SDX patching footprints.
