Mean splice insertion losses of 0.05 dB are obtained using multimode graded index fibers with the Springroove splice.

Mean splice insertion losses of 0.05 dB are obtained using multimode graded index fibers with the Springroove splice. Correct Answer True

Springroove utilizes a bracket containing two cylindrical pins which act as alignment guide for two fiber ends. An elastic element is used to press the fibers into a groove. The assembly is secured with a drop of epoxy resin. It provides a loss of 0.05 dB and has found a practical use in Italy.
