How long does it take for fiber optic cables to go from stripping the outer layer to splicing

The timeframe for splicing a fiber optic cable can vary depending on the type of splice, the equipment used, and the level of expertise of the technician. On average, a mechanical splice can take around 10-30 minutes to complete, while a fusion splice can take around 30-60 minutes. Through splicing, fiber optic technicians can extend the length of the fiber to make it long enough for use in a required cable run. ② Insert a fiber protection sleeve into the fiber that needs to be fused.
