Our service allows us to repair splices at existing fiber optic networks or terminate new fibers in patch panels, cabinets or with pigtails. Each splice is tested by the fusion splicing machine and by OTDR measurements to optimise transmission parameters. We support all major fiber types and are able to do fusion splicing between different fiber types.
Fiber Optic Fusion Splicing :
Fusion splicing is joining two optical fibers end-to-end that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice. Fusion splicing machines use typically an electric arc or a laser through to create the heat needed to join the two fibers.
OTDR Fiber Network Testing:
Optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) are used to characterize an optical fiber. It injects optical pulses into the fiber under test and extracts, from the same end of the fiber, light that is scattered or reflected back from points along the fiber. The scattered or reflected light that is gathered back is used to characterize the optical fiber. The strength of the return pulses is measured in regards to Insertion Loss and Return Loss and integrated as a function of time, and plotted as a function of fiber length.
OTDR Spectrum :
Our service allows to analyse existing fiber networks, identify bottle necks and to identify the technical capabilities to upgrade existing networks using CWDM and DWDM technologies. In some case we found that the existing network could be upgraded to achieve 2000 times more throughput by just changing the transmission equipment.
