Fiber Optic Cable Termination Procedure

Make the otdr optical time domain reflectometer ready for testing.

Fiber optic cable termination procedure.

The type of connector to be used in the termination depends on the type of cable and application. Fiber optic cables. Before beginning the splicing operation secure the cable in an optical fiber splicer tray organizer. Composite cable a cable containing both optical.

Take the prepared end of the cable inside the splice van to maintain the temperature and dust free environment. This standard describes procedures for installing and testing cabling networks that use fiber optic cables and related components to carry signals. Turn on the splicer machine and then select the splice mode. Splice the fiber optic cable to the factory made fiber optic pigtail.

Splicing is a permanent method of termination. Splicing is the other type and this involves connecting two bare fibers directly without any connectors. Fiber cable is now ready for splicing and termination. We terminate fiber optic cable two ways with connectors that can mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear or with splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers.

No area of fiber has been given greater attention than termanation. When the otdr is ready strip the fiber and cleave it by means of a diamond edged cleaver to ensure the cleaving end should be perpendicular. 1 connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear left or 2 splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers right. Prepare the fiber ends.

Prepare it for splicing or termination. Two methods of fiber optic termination one type of fiber optic termination is the use of connectors that join two fibers to form a temporary joint.
