The simple failure analysis and elimination of fusion splicer
Dec 23 , 2020
1. During the splicing process, the fusion splicer displays "fiber not found or the end face of the fiber is untidy". This is mainly caused by the surface of the optical system being contaminated. The protective glass (located under the electrode) should be cleaned with absolute alcohol, and the lens on the fiber cover should be cleaned at the same time. Wait until the alcohol is dry before procee...

What's fiber optic pigtail?
Jan 06 , 2021
A fiber pigtail is a single, short, usually tight-buffered fiber optic cable with a factory-installed connector on one end, and un-terminated fiber on the other end, making the maintenance more conveniently. Fiber optic pigtails are used to terminated fiber optic cables via fusion splicing or mechanical splicing as shown in the picture below. The end of the pigtail is stripped and fusion spli...

Precautions for using VFL
Feb 03 , 2021
Visual Fault Locator are also called VFL, pen-type red light sources, visible light detector, optical fiber fault detectors, optical fiber fault locators, etc. Most of them are used to detect fiber breakpoints. According to their shortest detection distance, they are divided into: 5Km, 10Km, 15Km, 20Km, 25Km, 30Km, 35Km, 40Km, etc. Driven by a constant current source, a stable red light is emitted...

The Introduce of Fiber Optic Microscope
Mar 10 , 2021
Fiber optic microscopes are used to inspect connectors to check the quality of the termination procedure and diagnose problems. A well made connector will have a clean, smooth, polished and scratch free finish. There is not be any signs ofcracks, chips or fiber not even with the ferrule front. The magnification for viewing connectors can be 30 to 400 power. Seikofire sells S620mini video optical f...

The correct use of fiber stripper
Mar 17 , 2021
Professional tools should be used when stripping the coating layer of the optical fiber. The most typical tool is the Fiber Stripper; it can thin the plastic outer layer outside the pigtail, and it can also strip the coating layer of the optical fiber. Pay attention to: 1. When peeling off the coating layer of the optical fiber, there should be no impurities in the small holes of the fiber strippe...

Optical fiber will be the foundation of 5G network
Apr 01 , 2021
With the continuous changes in 5G wireless standards, what measures can network operators take to lay the foundation for 5G transmission networks? The good news is that at least the path of 5G at the physical layer is clear: optical fiber will be the foundation of 5G networks, and centralized RAN (C-RAN) will become the 5G network architecture. C-RAN was introduced through 4G (commercial de...

Daily maintenance of fusion splicer
Apr 09 , 2021
In the fusion state, the optical fiber advancement stops and the machine does not perform fusion operation. The reason is that the V-groove is dirty and must be cleaned. After closing the windproof cover, the optical fiber will not push forward. Reason: 1. The bare optical fiber is placed too far from the electrode or beyond the electrode, please replay the optical fiber. 2. The objective lens has...

What's PON? What's PON optical power meter?
Apr 14 , 2021
PON (Passive Optical Network) The system is mainly composed of OLT (Optical Line Terminal), ONU (Optical Network Unit) and ODN (Optical Distribution Network) in the optical distribution network. Among them, the ODN does not include active equipment, and the OLT to the ONU is connected through an optical splitter to form a P2MP (point-to-multipoint) optical access system. PON can save optical fiber...

Why we need OCID?
Apr 23 , 2021
As demand for optical fiber increases day by day,the numbers of fibers in a single optical cable can be as many as 2096 individual fibers.As more fiber cables are buried underground,it becomes extremely dificult for the telecom engineers and technicians to manage the cables because cables may take different pathways, or be labeled incorrectly. As vast large number of optical cable being deployed b...
