Advantages of Fiber Optic Mechanical Splice

This article introduces several advantages of mechanical splice in detail.

1. Applied the non-embedded structure
There is no embedded fiber and matching cream inside. After installation, clamping the fiber and check the fiber ends by magnifying glass, thus can avoid the huge loss of fiber connection. During the clamping, the fiber will not move forward for the fiber optic mechanical splice has the axially positioning mechanism.

2. Excellent reliability 
The clamping device of mechanical splice manufactured by elastic metallic material, the aging problem of plastic components does not exist. What’s more, the changing temperature almost has no effect on fiber clamping force. In addition, the inner device of anti-vibration, anti-drop both have excellent performance. 

3. Excellent continuation of stability
The butt joint of mechanical splice has snapping force. When the fiber joint together, there is almost no clearance between the ends, so the connection loss is often less than ≤0.3dB, sometimes even lower than≤0.1dB. The mechanical splice doesn’t apply the matching cream; the related problems of matching cream are not exist. Besides, the excellent reliability also determines the excellent continuation.

4. Low insertion loss
The mechanical splice applies the non-embedded structure, there is only one joint point, therefore, and the insertion loss is less than the existing fiber optic fast connectors.

5. Low cost
The manufacturing cost of mechanical splice is low, so the price is low, and the installation is very easy, without special tools. With the gradual implement of global FTTH, products with excellent performance and low cost will become the mainstream of the market.

6. Fast installation
The installation and maintenance of mechanical splice are easy for operators and users, only need simple guide and read the Installation Manual, using the general tools can finish the installation.
