Infield installations, splicing is a faster and more efficient method and is used to restore fiber optic cables when a buried cable is accidentally severed. There are 2 methods of splicing, mechanical or fusion. Both methods provide much lower insertion loss compared to fiber. Companies involved in electric power distribution use various types of optical cables for communication, monitoring, and control., FTTH, FTTP, FTTM), splicing is essential This paper will provide a brief overview of the history of fiber-optic communications and types of fibers, and. For monitoring and managing networks, they use a variety of means of communications, including running fiber optic cables along the transmission and distribution towers, radio links and contracting landline and cellular communications services from telecom carriers. Infield. Fiber-optic cables can be placed in ducts, buried in the ground, suspended in the air between poles, and installed as part of the ground wire on the high-voltage transmission towers - optical ground wire (OPGW) – among other options.
