there is a little metal tab that connects the upper & lower outlets, make sure it hasn't been removed. its located on the side of the device were the screws are. it bridges the screws together. this tab is removed when a person wants to switch half the outlet.

hope this helps. that's only thing i can think of unless you have a defective device.

Why is splicing of optical fibers done?

Splicing of optical fiber cable is done to extend a cable, making it longer, or to repair a break in it. Splicing is preferred over installation of connectors, because the connectors introduce losses and degrade reliability. Some connectors are necessary, but those are placed in a protected environment, and their use is minimized. Besides, a typical cable, with 56 or more strands, would require 56 or more connectors, and that would create a large lump in the cable.
