The joining of the two fiber ends must be done in such a manner that the light is not scattered as it passes through the location of the two spliced ends. This

SOC’s Are an Excellent Way to Achieve Low-loss Connections
Prior to the introduction of fusion splicers, it was common for fiber optic installers to hand-polish connectors in order to minimize optical loss. For each connector, the process involved:• Stripping the field fiber and using epoxy to glue the fiber within a connector
