Slide shrink sleeve over exposed fiber and place in splicer's heating compartment; sleeve should cover each side roughly 3cm from joint. Slide shrink tube over shrunk sleeve; the shrink tube must leave no inner jacket exposed. There are 7 procedures to perform in the splicing process; roughly in the following order: Procedures 2 and 3 will be performed twice; once for each of the two cables. While they all share the goal of isolating external factors, they achieve this in different ways. Perform an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) test to ensure the splice is functioning properly.

The overhead optical cables should avoid friction with buildings, trees and other facilities, and avoid mopping or friction with other sharp and hard objects to damage the outer skin of the optical cable. The Corning Outdoor Pathway Tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape designed to protect optical fibre cables along paved surfaces. Fiber optic cables enable high-speed, long-distance data transfer, forming the backbone of modern communication. Yet, outdoors, they face temperature swings, moisture, UV exposure, rodents, and human interference.
