There are air bubbles on the surface of the optical cable
This bubble resulted from dirt on the fiber end surface. Proper care should be taken care of during cleaning process of fiber optics by using appropriate cleaning device such as isoprophyl alcohol. It is better to redo the splicing immediately so as to obtain minimum splicing loss. For injection-molded cable products such as optical cables, surface defects are a common product quality problem. However, in real-world installations, whether underground, aerial, or in harsh industrial environments, fiber cables can and do fail. However, physical damage can disrupt this infrastructure and cause significant network issues. They deliver enormous volumes of data through strands of glass thinner than a human hair. This bubble causes extreme fiber optics splicing high loss as shown visually via Visual Fault Locator (VFL) on the right hand side image.

Fiber Optic Cable Laying Method Using Air Blowing
What Is the Fiber Optic Cable Blowing Procedure? In fiber optic cable blowing, high-speed airflow is combined with a mechanical pushing force to produce the installation, known as blowing or jetting. In this article, we'll guide you through the entire fiber optic cable blowing procedure, highlighting the essential tools, the advantages over traditional methods, and the common challenges. There are two basic methods of cable installation in a preinstalled duct – Pulling method and Blowing method. The cable installation method is selected based on site conditions and availability of machinery & resources. Table 1 shows a comparison between the two installation methods.
