Cold Cure vs Fusion Splice: Which Fibre Termination Is Better?

Fibre optic cables are typically terminated by either by a fusion splicer or mechanical splice using an adhesive, commonly known as cold cure.

The Difference Between Optical Fiber Cold Splicing and Optical Fiber Fusion

When installing a fiber optic network, connectors are required to connect both ends of the fiber optic cable. Common splicing methods include optical fiber cold splicing and optical cable hot fusion splicing.
