Optical Fiber Fusion T-55 Sumitomo

Fusion is a new technology used to create a connection between two optical cables, also called optical fiber welding, in which heat is used to connect optical fibers to each other. Welding of two optical fibers is done by a device called fusion.
This device generates heat by heating or melting the fiber optic fibers at the boiling point, which causes the two to weld to each other. In most applications, the best way to connect fiber optics in terms of quality and cost is fiber optic fusion.

Fiber optic fusion is actually done with the aim of reducing the scattering and reflection of light along the fiber optic cable. Electric arc heat is usually used for this purpose, but in older methods other than gas flame heat or heat from electric current passing through tungsten film may also be used.

Today, fiber optic cables are among the latest technologies and these cables have a multi-layered structure that to create a weld between them, these cables must be carefully and correctly cut and thoroughly cleaned.

Fiber optic fusion is the act of connecting or, in other words, welding two optical fiber cables to each other, which is done by a fiber optic fusion device. The fusion junction uses an electric spark to weld two fiber optic cables together. This process of fiber optic welding involves the local heating of two fiber optic cables to melt and connect their ends.
