Mechanical splice |
With respect to fiber-optic cables, a splice in which fibers
are joined mechanically (e.g., glued, crimped, or otherwise
held in place) but not fused together using heat.
Mechanical splice is the opposite of a fusion splice in
which the two fiber ends are butted and then joined by
permanently bonding the glass end-faces through the
softening of the glass, which is fused together.
