Arc Calibration Is Important
Calibrating your fusion splicer's arc power before each splicing session is a critical step to ensure good splices. The arc calibration will take in account several factors such as altitude, humidity, temperature and barometric pressure which all determine the correct arcing power.

How to Place Fiber in a Fusion Splicer
In this FIS Tech Tip we show you exactly where the fiber needs to be placed in a fusion splicer to perform a good splice. Note that the fiber needs to be placed past the blue pads just before the electrodes. Once the fiber is placed in that small section, the splicer will bring it in automatically for you. At that point the splice can take place.
How to Use Removable Chucks in Your Fusion Splicer
John Bruno explains that some techs are not always aware that they can remove chucks from the fusion splicer and place them in the cleaver. John shows you this procedure which will help you to avoid creating high attenuation splices.

What is the Difference Between
Old and New Fusion Splicers?
The evolution of the fiber optic fusion splicer has been dramatic since their inception in the 1980s. Performance has improved while prices have been cut drastically.
Why Do I Have To Arc Check My Fusion Splicer?
John Bruno explains why an arc check is such a vital step when splicing. During his 23 years, John has received many calls concerning the quality of splices. He states that many times the unit is wrongfully blamed instead of the procedure itself. It usually comes down to the arc check.
