Requirements for splice loss of wind power optical cables
Proper fibre end preparation is the most fundamental step to get acceptable splice loss. End angle is dependent on condition of cleaver and cleaver blade. Two different methods exist for splicing fibers: Typical splice loss values (the measure of loss in optical power across the splice point) are usually lower for fusion splices (typically less than 0. 1. This application note discusses the splice loss measurement technique and investigates the extrinsic and intrinsic factors a ecting the splice loss measurements when joining two bare fibre strands. At present, two technologies, fusion and mechanical, can be used for. In particular, Recommendation ITU-T G. So how do you determine acceptable loss? When testing fibre optic cabling, determining acceptable loss is.
