Fiber optic connector assembly using fiber optic cable multimode or monomode

Optical fiber is a transmission medium usually employed in data networks. The fiber optic cables can be purchased mounted a certain length (hoses) or self assemble. In certain environments should be more self installed cable, first installing the cable grommet different, then mount the fiber optic connectors on the ends.

Traditionally installation of cables and fiber optic connectors to mount expensive equipment associated. This is true for large production of cables, but it is also possible to make a montage with special tools for mounting cable / fiber optic connectors. Kits economic tools for mounting said cables and the result can be supplied very optimal.

The optical fiber is a very thin thread of a transparent material, glass or plastics, through which light pulses representing the data to be transmitted are sent. The light beam is completely confined and propagates inside the fiber at an angle of reflection above the critical angle of total reflection, according to Snell's law. The light source can be laser or LED.

The fibers are widely used in telecommunications, and which can send large amount of data over a long distance, with similar radio and exceeding those of conventional wire speeds. Are the transmission medium par excellence to be immune to electromagnetic interference, are also used for local networks where they need to take advantage of the optical fiber over other transmission media.

This system can be applied to both multimode optical fiber cables or single. Based on fiber optic connectors ST, SC, FC, LC, etc. Single or Duplex.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLES

1) meter note the exact position that we want to cut the cable peeler tool.

2) Strip the outer insulation of the fiber with the help of special scissors. A synthetic fiber called Kevlar which serves to give resistance to cable torsion of it and protects it from moisture appears.

3) It's time to select the type of connector you want to mount (ST, SC, etc.). The connectors consist of several small pieces that will have to be assembled.

4) is followed by stripping the cable up to the fiber. This operation must be performed with care to avoid damaging the fiber.

5) checks whether the fiber enters the connector.

6) We pulled the plug and put protection before pasting.

7) We have the glue and activator to later inject into the fiber optic connector. It should dry quickly.

8) We clean the optical fiber with isopropyl alcohol to remove residual fat.

9) the optical fiber is inserted into the connector and close the cover with corresponding plug.

10) COTAR excess optical fiber.

11) Polish successively with different sanding discs (12, 3 and 1 micron). For polishing movement is drawn on the figure-eight sanding disc, so that the result is as uniform as possible. Thus all impurities are removed.

12) Crimp with the aid of an appropriate tool.

13) Checking the optional fiber optic connector using a microscope. Alternatively you can directly test the cable to see the volume of data transmission.
