Home / What are the different methods for single-mode fiber optic cable splicing
The three basic fiber interconnection methods are: de-matable fiber-optic connectors, mechanical splices and fusion splices. De-matable connectors are used in applications where periodic mating and de-mating is required for maintenance, testing, repairs or reconfiguration of a system. Fiber splicing is the preferred way when cable lines are too long for a single length of fiber or when combining two different types of cable.
