ABSTRACT:
The length of optical cable affected when splicing in sensors is reduced by cutting and splicing two distribution fiber lines and two return fiber lines to each sensor. The cable includes a spare distribution fiber line and a spare return fiber line. The optical cable is first stripped back to expose the optical fibers therein. For both the distribution and return lines, one fiber is cut at the proximal end of the stripped back portion of the cable, and another fiber is cut at the distal end of the stripped back portion. These fibers are then fused to respective ports on the sensor. Thus, each of the optical channels is formed from more than one optical fiber. The resulting cable is less stiff and more flexible.
