The reason why fiber optic fast connector are widely used
The continuous update and progress of optical communication technology has driven the development of FTTH (fiber-to-the-home), thus promoting the continuous expansion of the development of optical fiber fast connectors.
During the use of optical fibers, there are two ways to connect optical fibers: one is optical fiber hot-melt connection, which is complicated to operate and is mostly used in long-distance optical signal transmission for large-scale laying;the other is used the fast connector to connect. The fast connector is small size and easy to operate, and can easily realize the connection of the optical fiber link even in a small space. It is very suitable for FTTH construction, so fiber optic fast connectors are widely used in FTTH network deployment. Especially the SC fiber fast connector is widely used because of its high termination success rate and strong stability.
The function of fiber optic fast connectors
The fiber optic fast connectors is an effective tool for fast optical fiber termination. Its interior is composed of pre-polished ferrule and mechanical connector. It does not need to use optical fiber fusion splicer or grind during termination. The connection of optical fiber links can be realized through simple connection tools. The fiber optic fast connectors can be adapted to a variety of cabling environments, without other protection, and have extremely low loss of optical signals, which is an important guarantee for the realization of FTTH optical fiber cabling.
Installation of fiber optic fast connectors
Step 1: Remove the connector tail cap and pass the optical fiber through it;
Step 2: Strip the outer sheath of the optical cable with an optical fiber stripper, and the length is about 5CM;
Step 3: Put the Miller pliers close to the edge of the fixture to peel off the coating;
Step 4: Wipe and clean the bare optical fiber with a dustproof cloth;
Step 5: cutting the optical fiber;
Step 6: Align the optical fiber with the slot of the main body and insert it. When the optical fiber is initially bent, press down the crimping cover;
Step 7: Screw the tail cap on the cable back to the main body of the connector and snap on the shell.
The installation of the fiber optic fast connector is very simple, but it should be noted that the fiber optic fast connector is extremely susceptible to contamination and damage, which will cause damage to the performance of the optical fiber. During the installation process, it should be kept away from dust and pollutants, and the action should be slow when inserting.
The difference between fiber optic fast connector and cold connector
The optical fiber cold connector has the same structural principle as the embedded optical fiber connector. It is a sub-product of the fiber optic fast connector. Because its shape is similar to the fast connector, many people can not tell them apart.
The main difference between the cold connector and the fiber optic fast connector is that the cold connector has no movable plug. It is used to directly fix the connection of the optical link node when the fiber is connected to the fiber or the fiber to the cabling in small spaces, and the installation is more convenient and flexible.
Advantages of Hanxin's Fiber Optic Fast Connector
The joint end face of Hanxin's fiber optic fast connector has been pre-ground and polished in the factory, and is equipped with an optical fiber matching filling liquid, which fixes the optical fiber and the pre-embedded fiber in a high-precision V-shaped groove, and achieves optical fiber alignment by means of outer diameter alignment. For seamless connection between fiber cores, the termination time is about 1 to 2 minutes. It has the characteristics of low insertion loss, good continuous performance, convenient maintenance, and fast installation, and can realize on-site self-connection in very challenging environments such as utility poles or inspection holes, effectively reducing the connection error rate, saving time and labor costs are effectively saved.
Conclusion
Fiber optic fast connectors can be adapted to a variety of cabling environment, without other protection, and have extremely low loss of optical signals, which is an important guarantee for the realization of FTTH optical fiber cabling.
