After fiber optic cables are installed, spliced and terminated, they must be tested. For every fiber optic cable plant, you need to test for continuity and polarity, end-to-end insertion loss and then

If you break a fiber and splice it back together, the fibers will have the same backscatter coefficient on both sides of the splice, and the OTDR''s splice loss measurement will be correct.

These tests, plus insertion loss and OTDR testing are called "Fiber Characterization." Videos and links to fiber characterization are included in this lesson.

Splice closures house electronics, spare cables, and optical patch or splice panels. Splice closures slide over the splice to protect against environmental changes in aerial installations or below ground in

An Optical Power Meter and Laser Light Source will be used to measure power loss on each completed ring or distribution span to verify continuity between fibers (no fibers incorrectly spliced together).

After the cables are installed and terminated, it''s time for testing. For every fiber optic cable plant, you will need to test for continuity, end-to-end loss and then troubleshoot the problems.

Technicians use two main methods for fiber optic cable splicing: fusion splicing and mechanical splicing. Fusion splicing uses heat or an electric arc to permanently weld fiber optic cables.
