Fusion Splicer Maintenance how to Clean its V-groove?
Jun 09 , 2020
Fusion splicer is a high precision equipment, it is very import to do the maintenance during daily work. V-groove is a V slot on the ceramic substrate of narrow width, easily to accumulate dust which will make the fiber move instability and cause a bad fusion, therefore, the V groove should be cleaned regularly. The following is the way of cleaning the V-groove

How To Use OTDR?
Aug 14 , 2020
HOW TO USE OTDR? What is the most important thing to our OTDR? It must be looking at the graph and analyzing the curve. Then you can determine the condition of the line according to the curve. The operation mode and key function of each machine are basically different. First of all, we have to understand the basic operation and the key functions. We need to understand the most basic aspects of the...

The Basic Principles of OTDR
Oct 15 , 2020
OTDR is called Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, which injects narrow light pulses into the fiber end face as a detection signal. When the light pulse propagates along the fiber, the backscattered part of Rayleigh scattering everywhere will continue to return to the incident end of the fiber. When the optical signal encounters a crack, Fresnel reflection will occur, and the back reflected light w...

The Basic knowledge of PON
Nov 11 , 2020
1.1 Basic principles of PON system PON (passive optical network) refers to an optical access network in which the ODN (optical distribution network) between OLT (optical line terminal) and ONU (optical network unit) all adopts passive equipment. PON is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) optical access system, which can save fiber resources, ODN does not require power supply, user access is convenient, a...

The Notes When Using OTDR
Nov 26 , 2020
1. Simple judgment of fiber quality: Under normal circumstances, the slope of the main body of the light curve (single disk or several optical cables) tested by OTDR is basically the same. If the slope of a certain section is large, it indicates that the attenuation of this section is large; if the main body of the curve is of irregular shape, the slope fluctuation is large. Bending or arcing indi...

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 are the main functional differences between OTDR and optical power meters?
Jan 13 , 2021
Anyone who does optical cable construction will often come into contact with optical power meter and OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer). Multi-users do not understand why it is necessary to use an optical power meter to test the optical loss after testing the OTDR. Doesn't OTDR have the function of testing fiber loss? And there are some differences in the main functions of the two devices? O...

How does otdr measure breakpoints?
Feb 19 , 2021
The fiber breakpoint measurement with OTDR can be divided into three steps: parameter setting, bai data acquisition and curve analysis. Manual setting of measurement parameters includes: (1) Wavelength selection (λ): Because different wavelengths correspond to different light characteristics (including attenuation, microbending, etc.), the test wavelength generally follows the principle correspond...

Why Do You Need OTDR Launch Box?
Mar 24 , 2021
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a mandatory fiber optic testing tool which uses light backscattering technologies to analyze optical fiber performance. An OTDR can test the light loss and locate the breaks, splices and connectors in fiber optic network. However, an OTDR has a “Dead Zone“ which can affect the test results. To overcome the limitation of this OTDR dead zone, an OTDR Launc...

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...

OTDR: General Questions
Apr 28 , 2021
Q: What do OTDRs test? A: OTDRs test the overall length, loss and optical return loss of fiber optic cables or networks. Additionally, they detect, locate, identify and measure optical components in installed networks including fusion splices, optical connectors and PON splitters as well as faults such as breaks or tight bends causing high loss. Q: Does it take training to use an OTDR? A: Each OTD...

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...

What is OTDR Blind Area?
Aug 26 , 2021
Why does the blind area come up? The OTDR produces a blind area because the OTDR's detector is temporarily "blinded" by the high intensity Fresnel reflection light (mainly caused by the air gap between the OTDR connections). When the high intensity reflection is produced, the power of the photodiode is more than 4000 times higher than the backscatter power. Thus, the reflected light signal receive...
