What would prevent a light source from passing through fiber optic cable The light source is lit and light can be seen up to the fiber optic cable splice can water in the splice stop the lite?

One fiber optic strand is made of glass. It is quite small and the light actually passes through an area within the core of the strand. Data is pushed through (zeros and ones) and data can be 'piggy backed' with other data. Think of a prism and all the data is the colors in the prism. The computer systems will take all the data (colors) and condense them into one (white light) and push them through the fiber strand at the speed of light. At the other end of the fiber cable, the reverse is done and the data goes out to respected customers (ie Walmart, your bank or cell service). The fiber may or may not have a splice. If so, then the splice must be near perfect or the data will bounce (refract) out, much like dropping a pebble into a calm lake...the ripples will disturb the data. You couldn't have water in the splice, as it is fused together with heat. Fiber Optic Cable splicing is a technical skill and can be time-consuming. It may take one full day to simply splice 24 fibers. Fiber optic cables come in different groups. For example, telecom can have cables with as few as 12 fibers or as many as 244. So, call someone before you dig in your yard in case you hit one of these cables. The data lost and customers lost to the owner of the cable could run into the millions of dollars...and your homeowner's insurance may not cover you! Hope this helps!!
It is expensive

Do you put electrical tape around a spliced ground wire?
No. When you splice a ground it needs to be made by accepted means and the splice must be inspectable. Covering the splice with tape prevents inspection.
Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
How are splice sites recognized?
yes
What is a Britannia splice?
A Brittania splice is used for joining thick electrical wires.For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
What is the procedure for splicing home service wires?
The electrical code states that any splice in a wire, the insulation over the splice has to be equal to or greater than the insulation on that of the rest of the wire. So what ever type of splice that you use make sure that you insulate it well.
What does the term - wire splice - mean?
A wire splice is the joining of two or more wires together. Commonly this is done with an approved wire joining nut. All slices are to be made in junction boxes to prevent fire should the wire splice become unserviceable.
How do you splice thermocouple wire?
One splice that would work is a western splice.
How many tucks should be put in a wire admiralty eye splice?
Four full tucks should be put in an Admiralty Eye Splice before removing the outer layer of the strands and doing a further two tucks with the cores. This tapers the splice. Cut off the strands and outer cores with about 2cm sticking out from the splice to prevent them slipping when the eye is under tension. Parcel and serve with a heavy grease.
What different types of splices are there?
The long splice, the short splice, the end splice, and the eye splice are probably the most commonly used types.
What does splice mean in Japaneses?
splice is supuraisu
What is the difference between a long splice and a short splice?
A short splice will nearly double the diameter of the material, but will be shorter in length and not as strong as a long splice.
Will there be a splice 2 movie?
Hell yeah Yep there will definitely be a splice 2 because of the ending of the first splice and also because I have been searching the net and splice 1 was not supposed to have a sequel but after the ratings of splice 1 the creator of splice 1 has decided to make a splice 2 the rebirth.
When was Splice released?
Splice was released on 06/04/2010.
What was the Production Budget for Splice?
The Production Budget for Splice was $30,000,000.
What is the duration of Splice film?
The duration of Splice - film - is 1.73 hours.
Why won't splice work?
splice had trouble so they shut down
What is importance for making correct splice?
electrical splice? Good splice will allow current to flow without creating excessive resistance and heat
