The optical patch cord is a widely used equipment connection accessory in the field of optical communications. It has a role in optical fiber transmission wiring, which cannot be underestimated. Therefore, understanding the necessary use method and notes is an indispensable step because it helps to ensure high-quality optical fiber transmission and improve the durability of optical fibers.
The optical patch cord can be used to connect various network devices with optical fiber interfaces, such as optical modules, adapter panels, distribution boxes, wavelength division multiplexers and demultiplexers, optical fiber transceivers, etc.
(1) Connection steps of the optical patch cord
The dust-proof caps on the connectors at both ends of the optical module and the fiber patch cord should be removed to save them for further use. Then, correctly insert the patch cord connector into the module. A cable tie can be used to fasten the optical patch cord, and shape it to protect the patch cord.
(2) Disconnection steps of the optical patch cord
The command should be run to close the switch port where the optical module is inserted. Then, carefully remove the optical patch cord connector from the module. Dust-proof caps should be covered on connectors at both ends of the optical patch cord and optical module interface.
(3) Notes
Installation staff should have sufficient technical knowledge and experience in network wiring to ensure installation quality and safety. Protective gloves and anti-static wristbands are required to wear during the operation process to prevent damage from fiber fragments and static electricity. Before use, it is necessary to ensure that the end face of the optical fiber connector is clean. Please pay attention to the bending radius of the optical patch cord, excessive stretching or squeezing may cause loss. To prevent accidentally pulling the patch cord damaged, please do not let the patch cord out of the device, hand or place it at will.
It is necessary to avoid inserting or removing the patch cord in the device to eliminate fatigue. When connecting, staff should directly look at the end face of the patch cord connector since the laser damages eyes. After the installation, the working area should be thoroughly cleaned.
Although the use of the optical patch cord is simple, the daily maintenance should not be ignored. Proper cleaning and maintenance can not only ensure smooth signal transmission, but also extend the service life of the optical fiber.
(1) Clean the optical patch cord in time
Once the optical fiber is polluted by substances such as dust and oil stains, the quality of optical signal transmission will greatly reduce. In addition, the metal particles produced by the wear of the connector body and the optical fiber shell may also block the optical fiber. This will cause signal losses and bring losses to users. Therefore, it is essential to clean the optical patch cord in time.
(2) Store the optical patch cord reasonably
Regardless of whether the optical patch cord is in use, please do not bend or stretch it excessively. This is a common mistake that may cause damage to the patch cord. Some damage caused by bending is visible to the naked eye. However, in some cases, the loss may not be easily judged.
