Aging and damage of fiber optic cables can lead to loss of optical signals and degradation of transmission quality. The following are some ways to deal with the aging and damage of fiber optic cables:
1.Inspection and maintenance: regularly check the condition of fiber optic cable, including the wear and cracks of the external protective layer, the stability of the internal fiber optic connection, and the changes of the surrounding environment. Repair or replace in time.
2. Clean up: Keep the fiber optic connection clean and dry to avoid dust, moisture and other pollutants from entering and affecting the transmission of optical signals. Professional fiber optic cleaners and tools can be used for cleaning.
3. Strengthen protection: add protective sleeves on the outside to prevent external factors such as mechanical damage and chemical corrosion on fiber optic cables. During the laying process, take care to avoid zigzagging, stretching and violent twisting to avoid internal damage.
4. Use protection equipment: At the end of fiber optic cables and key nodes such as repeater stations, protection equipment can be used, including fiber optic transceivers, optical switches and photoelectric converters, etc., to improve reliability and stability.
5. Update technology: With the continuous development of technology, a new generation of fiber optic cables and fiber optic equipment is emerging, more advanced technology and equipment can be considered to improve the transmission rate and quality.
