Fiber optic has become the elite option for the internet, known for its lightning-fast speed and incredible security. With this rise in demand for fiber optic installation, so has the demand risen for professionals who conduct fiber splicing. If you're looking for a cutting-edge career in technology, this path may be right for you.
Fiber optic splicing is the process of joining two fiber optic cables together; these cables are tiny, typically between 0.25mm and 0.5mm in diameter. Joining them must be done correctly to prevent insertion loss or the loss of the signal. Splicing may be done mechanically or by fusion. Mechanical splicing involves precisely aligning the optical fibers, then securing them in place with a specialized assembly. Fusion splicing involves aligning the two fiber ends, then fusing or welding the glass around the fibers together with a small electric arc. Though more time-consuming, this is the more permanent splicing method.
Fiber optic is highly desirable for residential and commercial customers across the country. The demand for technicians to handle these installations and repairs is constant. The industry is only expected to grow in the future, so there is ample job security.

We at Forest Park Estates (24 units) were very happy with the team installing the wiring for our TDS system. The team worked with efficiency and professionalism. The work took place in attics with very limited headroom and the outside temperature was 90 degrees. Prior to the install we were kept informed as to the scheduling and briefed on what the procedure would entail by Justin Conner. WE were SUPER SATISFIED.
