Steps for using fiber optic quick connectors/cold splices

Although the use of fiber optic quick connector / cold splice is very simple, the installation should still follow the correct steps, in general, the installation process of fiber optic quick connector / cold splice is as follows.

       Step 1: prepare the fiber optic quick connector / cold splice, fiber optic stripping pliers, fiber cutting knife, fiber cleaning tools, etc..

       The second step: put on the connector tail sleeve to the fiber optic cable.

       Step 3: strip the outer jacket of the fiber optic cable with fiber optic stripper, clean the fiber, then cut the bare fiber with a fiber optic cutter, the length of the bare fiber is reserved according to the specific situation.

       Step 4: insert the fiber into the fiber optic quick connector/cold splice.

       Step 5: press the gland and lock the fiber.

       Step 6: Put the tail sleeve on the fiber optic quick connector/cold splice.

       The fiber optic quick connector/cold splice is highly susceptible to contamination and should be kept away from areas with high levels of dust and contaminants.

       The result of fiber cutting has an important impact on the performance of the fiber optic quick connector/cold splice, it is best to use an automatic fiber cutting knife to get the best cut.

       When inserting the fiber in the fiber optic quick connector/cold splice, it should be inserted slowly to prevent damage to the fiber, resulting in poor transmission performance of the fiber.

       Do not remove the dust cover of the fiber optic quick connector/cold splice until it has been installed.

       It is important to select a good quality fiber refractive index matching solution, which will greatly extend the life of the fiber optic quick connector/cold splice.
