Fusion splicing requires stripping a longer length of bare fiber than termination, so the choice of stripper is important. There are three types of fiber strippers available, known as (from Left) the Miller Stripper, No-Nik and Micro-Strip. All three can work equally well, and most techs choose the. Learn the four fiber optic termination methods: field polishing, pre-polished connectors, fusion splicing, and mechanical splicing. A poorly. Fiber optic joints or terminations - where cables are terminated - are made two ways: 1) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear (left) or 2) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers (right). Because fiber cores are extremely small (typically 9µm for single-mode and 50/62. Each method adapts to the stated environment and performance.
