skarva ut

English translation: branch splice

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / optical network
Swedish term or phrase: skarva ut
godtagbart alternativ finns då ny radiolänk har installerats, dessutom kommer fler fibrer att skarvas ut.

This is in a text about problems experienced on the optical network. I take it "skarva" is "splice", but what exactly are you doing here? Cut out? By-passed?

Suggestions gratefully received.

neutral  Deane Goltermann: 'splice' is certainly what your doing and Svens description of the process is one possibility, but am reluctant to use the separable verb form with 'out'. It does not seem to be a noun form either.
