A video posted to YouTube shows ILSINTECH's Swift S3 fusion splicer crashing to a hard floor then successfully fusing two optical fibers. In the 1:11 video, the splicer is picked up off a table and dropped from waist-height to the floor with a clanging thud. The splicer is then positioned upright on the floor, fibers are inserted and a fuse is completed. At the end of the video the splicer's screen shows a 0.04-dB loss reading for the successful splice.
This is obviously a self-promotional video made and posted by the folks at ILSINTECH. But it's fun to watch.

That's good to know, but i noticed a 0.04db loss on the splice, which for me is not acceptable, the largest loss on any given splice for me has been 0.02db. Mind you i do work in the telecommunications industry with fiber runs of several hundred km's which needs almost loss less splices.
