Since the factory specifications of optical cables are usually about 5km, if a 10km optical cable is required, it is necessary to connect two optical cables together. Fiber splicing is an increasingly...
HOME / How many meters of fiber optic cable are needed for splicing - SMB AI-Systems & High-Speed Interconnect
Through splicing, fiber optic technicians can extend the length of the fiber to make it long enough for use in a required cable run. As fiber optic cables are generally only produced in lengths

For outside plant work, fusion splicing is almost always the right choice. Mechanical splices are faster for emergency restoration but have higher typical loss (0.2-0.5dB vs. 0.02-0.1dB for fusion) and degrade
