Air bubbles in the fiber optic fusion splicer

If there are errors in the fusion point or surface irregularities (bubbles, inconsistent thickness of fusion), stop and reconsider the fusion. You may need to re-cleave the fibers and manually change arc power parameters as well, particularly if the weather is extreme, to ensure. Static electricity is an enemy of fiber optics and splicer electronics, especially in dry environments and/or air conditioning. Static electricity can build up in your clothes and body, so the use of anti-static wrist straps and/or an anti-static mat may help in preventing this from happening. The fusion splicer flags every kind of problem with its own visual signature, but the troubleshooting is the same: identify ...
