Yes, that was really nasty one. He had to redo it because of the loss.

Our work site was 10m below ground level, in a corridor 1,5m wide.

Yeah, nasty splice. But a minute later everything was fine again - splice loss 0,00dB

[jack57701]

acceptable splice loss is determined by the owner of the fiber you are splicing for. usually specified in the contract and or spec book at the begining of the project. i personaly have never seen anything over a .03 be acceptable and every splice had to be accounted for on the machine and after all splicing was completed and tested with the otdr, being saved to the drive on the otdr, to cd and turned into owner for review and acceptence.

Whatis the limit for a good splice then? 0.04 0.05?

what did you use for record ? fucking camera from self phone. Terrible quality

[noxchee123]

fiber optic cable can handle up to -40C..and if not moved it can handle more.

using tool called: cleaver

[iridium40]

can someone explain how to cut FO

to the activity,and what is the ideal tools to used to cut the fo

thanks

fiber optics shatters like glass in sub zero temps. How is this not a threat to the communication industry?

[James1toknow]

True the only complete way to access loss is the use of an OTDR but, the machines are pretty accurate.

[James1toknow]

looking for better than that. ooops. We got more.
