Explain the use method and precautions of optical fiber jumpers in detail

fiber jumpers

Optical fiber jumpers is a widely used equipment connection accessory in the field of optical communications. It is used to make jumpers from equipment to optical fiber wiring links. It is very important in the active connection of optical paths. Therefore, understand the necessary use methods and methods of optical fiber jumpers. Precautions are an indispensable step, which helps to ensure high-quality optical fiber transmission quality and enhance fiber durability. Next, Adtech will explain the use of optical fiber patch cords and precautions.

Optical fiber jumpers connection and disconnection method

Optical fiber jumpers can be used to connect a variety of network equipment and devices with optical fiber interfaces, such as optical modules, adapter panels, distribution boxes, wavelength division multiplexers and demultiplexers, optical fiber transceivers, etc. The following will take a common jumper wire to connect the optical module on the switch as an example to introduce the general operation steps in detail.
1. Optical fiber jumper connection steps
1. Remove the dust caps on the connectors at both ends of the optical module and the fiber jumper, and save them for later use.
2. Correctly insert the jumper connector into the module.
3. Use cable ties to tighten and fix the optical fiber cable, and shape it to protect the jumper.

Steps to disconnect the optical fiber jumpers

1. Run the command to close the switch port where the optical module is inserted.
2. Carefully pull out the optical fiber jumper connector from the module.
3. Cover the connectors at both ends of the fiber jumper and the optical module interface with dust caps.

 Matters needing attention:

1. The installer must have sufficient technical knowledge and experience in network wiring to ensure the quality and safety of the installation.
2. Be sure to wear protective gloves and anti-static wristbands when operating active devices to prevent fiber fragments and static electricity damage.
3. Make sure that the end face of the optical fiber connector is clean before use.
4. Pay attention to the bending radius of the fiber jumper when using it. Excessive stretching or squeezing may cause loss.
5. Do not allow the jumper to be suspended or placed freely from the equipment to prevent breakage when the jumper is accidentally pulled.
6. Avoid frequent insertion or removal of jumpers in the equipment to reduce wear.
7. Do not look directly at the end face of the jumper connector when connecting to prevent the laser from hurting your eyes.
8. After installation, the work area should be cleaned thoroughly.
