Fiber optic fusion splicing in the wild: how the things get stitched together
Unusual & record-setting splicing scenarios Extreme environment splicing– Splicing in Antarctica?Yep. Research teams in the South Pole use ruggedized splicing equipment in -40°C weather to maintain communication lines to orbiting satellites.In deserts, splicing crews have reported needing to cool down machines in ice chests to prevent overheating.– Undersea fiber splicing by robotsWhen subsea fiber cables […]
