[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 1695242, member: 1719"] One of my customers had 72 strands of fiber cut that I got to put back together. For those of you who haven't been around it or even see it before here is a crappy Iphone video. I though someone might think it was as neat as I do In the video I'm placing the stripped and cleaved fiber in the machine ( the red part on the right is the fiber's "jacket" and the clear is the actual fiber, I do a better job when Im not holding a camera in one hand). after it is placed in the machine the screen shows the two ends magnified as it aligns and checks them for issues and then welds them together. Note that inside the glass there is a thinner strip of lighter glass. That is where the light actually travels. After it is done watch me take it out and note how small it is compared to my fingers. Pretty cool huh? Before it was cut this piece was over a mile long with no splices in it.
