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...

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...

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...

ARC Checking and Maintenance of the Splicer
May 21 , 2021
Working with fiber optics takes a delicate hand and some patience. One of the most used pieces of equipment is a fusion splicer. A fusion splicer uses an electric arc to fuse two pieces of optical fiber (glass) together so that light can pass through with no scatter of light or light reflected back (backscatter) by the splice. Fusion splicing helps to reduce loss in your network. Typical loss thro...

What does AUTO mean in splicing mode of optical fiber fusion splicer?
Jun 18 , 2021
AUTO automatically recognizes the fiber type and corrects the discharge parameter mode in real time. SM is a single-mode fiber mode, NZ is a non-zero displacement dispersion fiber mode, and DS is a displacement dispersion fiber mode. Optical fibers for communication are generally SM (single-mode) or MM (multi-mode), of which SM is the majority. SeikoFire S5 optical fiber fusion splicer is mainly u...

Four Basic Steps to Complete a Proper Fusion Splicing
Jul 15 , 2021
Step 1. Preparing the Fibers 1. Strip jacket and remove an adequate amount of jacket, usually 2-3 m, for splicing and dressing the buffer tubes and fibers in the splice closure. Leave the proper amount of strength members to attach the cable to the closure. Refer to the splice closure directions for lengths needed. Clean all water-blocking materials using appropriate cleaners. 2. Remove buffer tub...

Why the fiber end face always appears bad when the fusion splicer is splicing?
Aug 04 , 2021
1. The new end face is contaminated by debris, dust, etc. Solution: Do not let the cut fiber end face touch anything; 2. When cutting the optical fiber, the angle is too large. In this case, it may be a problem with the cleaver blade. Change a blade for an interview, or there may be debris in the fiber groove of the cleaver. Use a sharp object to clean the fiber groove. ; 3. There are gray and dar...

Classification of optical fiber loss.
Aug 13 , 2021
The optical fiber loss can be divided into the inherent loss of the optical fiber and the additional loss caused by the service conditions after the optical fiber is made. The details are as follows: Optical fiber loss can be divided into inherent loss and additional loss. The inherent loss includes scattering loss, absorption loss and the loss caused by the imperfect structure of optical fib...

How to solve these six problems encountered in the process of optical fiber fusion splicing?
Sep 29 , 2021
1. There are bubbles or cracks in the contacts during welding This situation may be due to poor fiber cutting, such as the end face is inclined, burrs, or the end face is not clean, and the fiber needs to be cleaned before the splicing operation; there is also a situation that the electrical electrode is aging and the electrode rod needs to be replaced. 2. The welding is too thick or the contact p...

What are reflective and non-reflective events in otdr?
Jan 21 , 2022
1. The height of each point in the OTDR curve represents the backscattered light intensity at that location. When looking at the OTDR curve, you can see that the reflected signal is raised in some places, as if the optical power at the back is stronger than the front, which is impossible. Generally, this situation is the backscattering peak caused by the Fresnel reflection at the splicing, breakin...

Ten reasons for excessive splicing loss of optical fiber
Feb 23 , 2022
1. Choose the wrong optical fiber splicing program; for example, misselect the single-mode splicing program to multi-mode. 2. The cutting angle of the end face of optical fiber is too large. 3. The optical system is dirty, mainly the reflector and objective lens. 4. V-shaped slot dirty, optical fiber pressure foot dirty. 5. The aging of the electrode leads to the weak discharge intensity, and the ...

What is the difference between fiber patch cords and pigtails?
Apr 01 , 2022
The difference between the two is that the pigtail is used to connect the optical cable and the jumper, and the jumper is to connect the pigtail and the terminal equipment. Optical fiber jumper is a jumper used from equipment to optical fiber cabling link, also known as optical fiber connector, which has a thicker protective layer and is generally used in the connection between optical transceiver...
