The two pigtails can be fused together
Fusion splicing uses a precision arc discharge between two electrode rods to heat and fuse the cleaved fiber ends together. The connector end plugs directly into active equipment, an ODF port, or a fiber splice. Optical fibers can be joined together, such that light is efficiently transferred from one fiber to another.

How to prevent the fused fiber from breaking
To mitigate this risk, one strategy is to reduce the cladding diameter at specific points, which can help stop the propagation of the fiber fuse. This is a critical issue for fiber-optic links with high transmission capacities. This guide reveals the secrets to fusion splicing with little fluff—just proven, straightforward techniques refined from years of work in the field. Do you open just one clip at a time? Do you bring your splice protector up to the clips? Do you hold the fibre down? The type 90 opens by. Note: Beware of fiber end surface contamination, the fiber protection sleeve should be threaded before fiber stripping.

12-core optical fiber cable fused at one time
Instead of fusing one fiber at a time, mass fusion splicing can fuse up to all 12 fibers in one ribbon at once. Thorlabs offers a varied selection of single mode (SM), polarization-maintaining (PM), multimode (MM), and double-clad fiber couplers, as well as 1x8 and 1x16 SM PLC splitters; 1x4, 1x8, and 1x16 PM PLC splitters; wideband multimode circulators; RGB combiners; and WDMs. Imm (main cord) Material Stainless Steel Color Silvery White UL94 V-0 (*Burning stops within 10 seconds on a veritcal specimen, no drips of flaming particles. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and most reliable joint between two fibers.
