When splicing optical fibers, it is essential that the cores should be aligned so that as much light as possible travels from one fiber to the next, see Figure 3.

Home / Fiber splicing sequence for 24-core single-mode optical fiber
The diagram of 24 core fiber fusion splicing sequence is an essential tool for engineers in the telecommunications industry. This article provides a detailed explanation of the sequence, covering four aspects: preparation, stripping and cleaning, fusion splicing, and testing. The fiber parameters that most affect splice loss in single-mode fiber are mode field diameter (MFD - the diameter of the light-carrying region of the fiber) and core-clad concentricity (the amount tha ould result in a potential splice loss of 0. Fusion splicing is the preferred method for splicing long distance singlemode cable plants, as it's low loss and reflectance maximizes cable plant performance.
