Connection and disconnection of optical fiber jumpers.

Fiber optic patch cords are used to provide connections between different types of network devices. These network devices include (but are not limited to) fiber optic adapters, optical modules, fiber optic transceivers, switches, routers, or almost everything that can send or receive information through fiber. Components.

First, connect the fiber jumper.

1. Remove the dust caps that cover the front and back connectors of the jumper.
2. Store the removed dust cap in a suitable container and designated location.
3. Remove the dust plug provided on the optical module.
4. Insert the male connector into the female port of the optical module.
5. Fix the fiber jumper correctly.



Second, disconnect the fiber jumper.

1. It is forbidden to install related optical module interfaces.
2. Unplug the optical fiber connector from the optical module.
3. Cover the optical module with a dust plug.
4. Cover the optical fiber connector with a dust-proof plug.
5. The following are some points to keep in mind when connecting and disconnecting optical fiber jumpers.

Only skilled and experienced staff who have a thorough understanding of the network layout are allowed to connect or disconnect jumpers. Care must be taken to use appropriate personal protective equipment. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to use goggles and protective gloves. In addition, you must wear an anti-static wrist strap when working nearby or on active equipment. Be sure to follow the jumper manufacturer’s recommendations related to the bending radius to avoid macro-bending losses.

In addition, do not hang fiber jumpers freely or scattered on the floor. Use the appropriate cable reel to keep everything in order. For the safety of your eyes and vision, never look directly at any end points on the optical fiber, otherwise it will have a certain impact. Finally, it must be kept in mind that frequent plugging and unplugging of optical fiber jumpers will cause the end face of the connector to wear. Be sure to abide by the contents of the housekeeping regulations and keep the work area clean and tidy.
