Although the connectors are designed to be strong enough to be handled and the coated cables are quite strong, the connectors need some protection. Since multifiber cables have many terminations through which fibers can be accessed for testing or changing configurations, interconnection points require termination manipulation, which includes identifying each connector/termination.
Connections can be made on different types of equipment, such as connection panel racks or termination boxes. Appropriate equipment must be chosen according to the installation. These will be seen in detail in the installation chapter.
Splices
The splices create a permanent bond between two fibers, so their use is limited to those places where cables are not expected to be available for future maintenance. The most common application of the splice is for the concatenation (the union) of the cables in the long cable connections in external plants where the length of the laying requires more than one cable. The splice can be used to combine different types of cables, such as connecting a 48-fiber cable to six 8-fiber cables that go to different places. The splices are generally also used to place the terminations of single-mode fibers with connectorized cables ( pigtails ) in each fiber, and of course, the splices are used for the restoration of facilities in external plants.

There are two types of splices: fusion and mechanical. The fusion splice is the most commonly used as it provides the lowest losses and the lowest reflectance, as well as the strongest and most reliable union. Virtually all single-mode fiber splices are by fusion. The mechanical splice is used for temporary restorations and splices of multimode fibers. In the photo that follows, there is a fusion splice on the left and the rest are different types of mechanical splices.
