Correct usage and selection points of fiber optic connectors.

2021-04-21
The optical fiber connector is a convenient product that can be connected without stripping the wiring coating. Many people think that the use of fiber optic connectors for wiring may cause poor contact, but if you choose a fiber optic connector that matches the connection and use it correctly, there will be no bad connection. The following will briefly introduce how to choose and correctly use optical fiber connectors.

First, use fiber optic connectors correctly.

Since the blade inside the optical fiber connector reaches the core wire, it can be in good contact with the coating, making it easy to install and quickly build a network. However, if it is used incorrectly, it will lead to a very poor connection to the entire network, so you must be careful when operating it.

1. Match the size of the jumper fiber connector.

First, keep the size of the fiber optic connector on the matching patch cord. If the thickness of the wiring and the thickness of the optical fiber connector are different, a connection failure may occur. If the thickness of the wiring is smaller than the size of the optical fiber connector, the blade inside the optical fiber connector will not be able to reach the core wire and will not be energized. In addition, if the thickness of the wiring is greater than the size of the optical fiber connector, the optical fiber connector may not be closed and may be damaged. Therefore, if a jumper wire that is thicker than the optical fiber connector is forcibly crimped, the blade inside the optical fiber connector may damage the core wire or the wiring may break. If the optical fiber connector is too large or too small, it will not be connected correctly, so please make sure to choose an optical fiber connector that matches the wiring.


2. Firmly crimp the wiring.

Firmly crimp the wiring. Use pliers when crimping, but make sure to close the connector tightly with proper force. For connectors that lock when crimping, try touching them to see if they are open. If the crimp is even loose, it means that the contact is poor.

In addition, it is also very important to choose the right fiber optic connector. The fiber optic connector you choose depends on how much cross-sectional area you use. For example, if you want to connect thin patch cords, it is best to choose an optical fiber connector that can connect 0.18sq to 0.36sq patch cords.

If you want to use a thicker patch cord, you can use 0.50sq to 0.85sq fiber optic connectors. 1.25sq to 2.00sq patch cord available optical fiber connectors are used to connect thicker patch cords. Choosing an optical fiber connector that matches the cross-sectional area of ​​the jumper in this way is the key to a successful connection.

If you make a mistake when choosing an optical fiber connector, it will eventually lead to poor contact. In addition, some fiber optic connectors have patched fiber optic connectors of different diameters. This is a very useful item when the thickness of the two lines to be connected is different. For example, if you want to wire jumpers with a thickness of one side different from the thickness of the other side, and the thickness of the other side is different from the thickness of the other side, the thickness of the jumper is 0.2sq, you can use other diameters Jumper connectors to connect without problems.

The best fiber optic connector depends on the wiring and location used, so it is best to check the thickness of the wiring in advance. Choosing fiber optic connectors is the key to building a secure network.
