SPECIAL EQUIPMENT Equipment Name 3. 1 Verify that all testing is complete and that it has passed the customers' requirements. When done right, splicing ensures minimal loss and long-lasting performance. Another method of connecting optical fibers is termination or connectorization, which consists of processing the end of a fiber optic bundle so that it can be connected to other fibers or devices through fiber optic. Fiber optic strands are ultra-lightweight and about as thin as human hair, and yet, they have more than eight times the pulling tension of a copper wire. And because fiber optic cables carry light instead of electricity, they are not affected by changes in the temperature and can withstand extreme.
