Are Fiber Optic Connectors And Fiber Optic Fusion Splicers The Same

Different,
Fiber optic connector is a device that allows for detachable (movable) connections between optical fibers. It precisely connects the two end faces of the optical fiber to maximize the coupling of the optical energy output by the transmitting fiber to the receiving fiber, and minimize the impact on the system due to its involvement in the optical link. This is the basic requirement of fiber optic connectors. To a certain extent, fiber optic connectors affect the reliability and performance of optical transmission systems.
Fiber optic fusion splicer is mainly used for the construction and maintenance of optical cables in optical communication, so it is also called fiber optic fusion splicer. The general working principle is to use a high-voltage arc to melt the cross-section of two optical fibers, while using a high-precision motion mechanism to smoothly push and fuse the two optical fibers into one, in order to achieve coupling of the fiber mode field.
