4.3.5 Splicing partial core fiber
If loss is unsteady during splicing, the measures are as follows:
1.- Check whether the arc is steady and whether the parameter is proper.
2.- If opposite position is steady and the parameter is proper, maybe fiber's core is
partial. The solution is minish the value of "fusion time" and "fusion push".
3.- If method <2> is useless, to obtain best loss, you must mark direction angle on
the fiber to test fiber's fusion.
4.3.6 Evaluating fusion quality.
Fusion quality is judged by estimating loss, fusion shape and fusion process. Only
combine them together, and then the evaluation is external.
1.- If fusion process is steady and the spliced fiber's shape as follows as Table 3,
then the fusion status is well.
2.- If the spliced fiber's shapes are as follows as Table 4, you must splice over again
even the loss value is very low.
