The vigorous development of optical communication technology has led to the rise of fiber to the home, which has led to the continuous expansion of the market for optical fiber quick connectors and cold splices.

What is the difference between optical fiber quick connector and mechanical splicer?

The optical fiber mechanical splicer has the same structural principle as the embedded optical fiber connector, and belongs to the sub-product of the optical fiber quick connector. Because its shape is similar to the quick connector, many people are not clear about the two.

The difference between the mechanical splicer and the optical fiber quick connector is that it has no movable plug. It is used to directly fix the optical link node when the optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber or the optical fiber and the pigtail. The contact loss is about 0.1dB~0.2 dB. Mainly used for indoor wiring or wiring in narrow spaces, making installation more convenient and flexible.

How to install and use optical fiber quick connector:

1) Remove the connector tail cover and pass the cable through it;

2) Use optical fiber stripper to peel off the cable sheath;

3) Cut the Miller pliers close to the edge of the fixture to expose the coating layer and expose the optical fiber;

4) Ensure that the optical fiber is clean and avoid dust;

5) Use a clamp to cut the optical fiber;

6) Align the optical fiber with the main body hole and insert it. When the optical fiber is initially bent, press the crimping cover down;

7) Screw the tail cap stringed on the cable back to the connector body and buckle the shell.

The installation of the optical fiber quick connector is very simple, but it should be noted that the optical fiber quick connector is easy to be contaminated and damaged, which can lead to damage to the performance of the optical fiber. During the installation process, it should be kept away from dust and pollutants, and the action should be slow when inserting.

The optical fiber quick connector is an effective tool for fast optical fiber termination. Its interior is composed of pre-polished pins and mechanical connectors. There is no need to use an optical fiber fusion splicer or grinding during the termination. The connection tool can realize the docking of the optical fiber link. The optical fiber quick connector can adapt to a variety of wiring environments without other forms of protection, and has extremely low loss of optical signals. It is an important guarantee for the realization of FTTH optical fiber wiring.

How to use optical fiber mechanical splicer:

1) First use diagonal pliers to cut the steel wire inside the cable;

2) Then use an optical cable stripper to open the sheathed cable to expose the optical fiber and pay attention to the length;

3) Then put it into the guide groove, pull the guide groove back, and peel off the plastic on the fiber surface with a Miller wire, and the bare fiber is exposed;

4) Finally, put the stripped bare fiber belt guide groove into a cutting knife, and push it from the inside (on your own side) to the outside.
