We propose a new splicing technique by precisely aligning and directly connecting coated fibers with a capillary. The assembled splice for 1.3‐μm single‐mode fibers with an 80 μm cladding and a 125 μm coating can provide a low insertion loss of 0.2 dB and a high return loss of over 46 dB. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
