This role requires the technician to prepare fiber cables by stripping, cleaving, and cleaning before using fusion splicing or mechanical splicing techniques to join fibers with minimal loss or reflection. The splicer tests and inspects splices using optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDR) and other diagnostic tools to ensure signal integrity and meets quality standards. Additional tasks include documenting splice records, maintaining equipment, and performing routine preventive maintenance on fiber optic networks. Working outdoors and in confined spaces, the splicer often collaborates with engineers and field technicians during installation or repair projects.
