I am a fiber technician and normally use Corning fiberloks which hold the mechanical splice by locking a metal clamp directly on the stripped fiber. This mechanical splice first locks the fiber jacket in place and then a plastic piece is pushed down to align the stripped fiber. I was able to undo and redo the mechanical splice many times with needle nose pliers. I had zero db loss and reflectance within standards. The cleave length is 14mm. This is slightly longer than the 12.5mm required by Corning fiberloks. I have seen Corning fiberloks fail due to fiber breakage due to how it clamps the stripped fiber. I do not foresee the same issue with this mechanical splice since it clamps the jacket instead. This mechanical splice is easily done by hand. However, the cost is significantly more and I will probably only use in emergency situations where I cannot fusion splice and a Corning fiberlok mechanical splice is not secure enough. Corning fiberlok $0.50 cents. I found this connector no less than $1.50 when bulk purchased.

Everything was included as shown in the photos. The is my first attempt at using a mechanical fiber splice (OM3 cable) and it went surprisingly well. I had some trouble getting the fiber prepped, but didn’t have any issues with the product itself.The directions go through the steps, however they are missing one key piece, they don’t tell you how long the bare fiber needs to extend past the tight buffer. They assume you have a measuring jig that is already set correctly, to what length we don’t know. Through experimentation, I found cleaving it so one ends up with 12mm of exposed glass seemed about right.The device is easy to close after the fibers are installed. Using a VFL, I saw nearly no light leakage at the splice and plenty of light coming out the other end. Next, I tested it with an optical power meter to estimate the insertion loss. I saw a loss of 0.1dbm after first zeroing out the meter using a factory fiber cable, then replacing it with the fiber that contains the splice.It can be reused a few times, probably not a lot times as it’s plastic, but at least several.
