Splicing of optical fiber cable is done to extend a cable, making it longer, or to repair a break in it. Splicing is preferred over installation of connectors, because the connectors introduce losses and degrade reliability. Some connectors are necessary, but those are placed in a protected environment, and their use is minimized. Besides, a typical cable, with 56 or more strands, would require 56 or more connectors, and that would create a large lump in the cable.

∙ 13y agoThe purpose of splicing optical fibers is to join two lengths of optical fiber. This may be practical when repairing a damaged length, or adding length to an existing fiber.

What do you mean by splicing in electronics?
Splicing means joining in optical fibers.a process called splicing takes place to join two fibers.
Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?
No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.
What are the alternatives to optical fibers?
Copper wires and satellite transmission.
What are optical fibers made of?
Good optical fiber is made of glass, but inexpensive fiber is sometimes made of plastic.
What are the factor that contribute to the optical fiber loss?
Due to No of connectors, No of splicing, Quality of Fiber / connectors, Not using Attenuator according to the distance, by using dirty attenuators, etc.

What exactly is an optical power meter?
It is a device used to measure power in an optical signal. It is usually done to test optic fibers. Here is where you can get a lot more information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power_meter
What technologies are optical fibers used with?
Optical fibers are flexible transparent fibers made of glass or plastic and transmits light between its two ends. They are mainly used in the fields of applied science and engineering.
How do tools that implement optical fibers improve medical care?
Tools with optical fibers improve medical care by allowing physicians to see inaccessible places
How light can be used for communication?
using optical fibers....
What is the Difference between lap joint and splice joint?
splicing is of optical fiber cable where as jointing is of cther cables
