Splice A splice is a device which permanently or semi- permanently joins optical fibers or optical cables, or both, in a protective manner and maintains fiber or cable structural
30、integrity. The term splice“ refers to the fiber splice, the cable structure splice, or the cable splice, and associated hardware. (See Figure 1.) Semi-permanent Splice A splice that can be separated, yet is intended for permanent engagement, as opposed to a connector which is intended for multiple e
31、ngagements and separ at ions. Fiber Splice A joint whose purpose is to couple optical power between two optical fibers. Cable Structure Splice or Splice Closure A joint whose purpose is to mechanically join two or more optical cables (exclusive of optical fibers). Cable Splice A cable structure spli
32、ce with an integral fiber splice or splices. Hybrid Splice A splice with fiber splice(s) and electrical conductor splice(s) . A splice part is any of the individual elements of a splice, including index matching fluids and adhesives that become a permanent part of the splice. Copyright Electronic In

34、ted by humans in their work or home activities. 2.3.9 Non-protected Environment Splice A splice designed to be used outside of a protected environment. High altitude, extreme temperatures, and water immersion are examples of a non-protected environment, and special tests may be required for these ex
35、treme environments. 2.3.10 Discontinuity Discontinuity is a transient, relatively sharp, short duration interruption or drop-out of the optical signal(s). The purpose of an optical discontinuity test is to confirm that the splice does not induce excessive signal discontinuities when subjected to phy
36、sical stress tests. 2.3.11 Mechanically Induced Modulation This is the dynamic, amplitude modulation of the optical signal(s) caused by physical stress at a splice. The purpose of a mechanically induced modulation test is to confirm that a splice does not excessively modulate the optical signal when
37、 subjected to physical stress tests. 2.3.12 Ambient Light Susceptibility Ambient light susceptibility is the interference of the optical signal(s) in a splice by ambient optical power incident upon its exterior. The purpose of an ambient light susceptibility test is to confirm the ability of a splic
38、e to exclude ambient optical power from its optical signal circuit (s) . 2.3.13 Mechanical Compatibility An inherent characteristic of the fiber, cable and splice existing when the fiber and cable possess the physical properties necessary (e.g. , size) for the splice to hold them together. Optical p
39、erformance, however, is not considered. That is, the splice may not meet the specified optical characteristics when joining fiber and cable types not used for qualification testing.
