The most troublesome part of the optical fiber is that it is fragile, and the signal will be broken if it is slightly squeezed or bent. The optical fiber connector is the optical fiber line and the optical fiber connector, which are easily damaged. Friends with better hands-on ability can try to make the connector by themselves, and the replacement cost can be greatly reduced. Below, I will introduce to you how to install the optical fiber quick connector.

The installation of optical fiber quick connectors is divided into two types: hot splicing and cold splicing. Hot-melting requires a hot-melting machine and a high technical grasp, which is not very suitable for laymen. Here I will introduce you to the cold splicing method. We only need the optical fiber cutting machine. Many great gods can connect the connector with needle-nose pliers. This high-tech method is not recommended here.

The first step is to prepare tools. We prepare the prepared cleaver and quick connector, open the previous connector, and see if the pre-embedded optical fiber is broken inside. If the optical fiber is not broken inside, we only need to take out the optical fiber carefully, then put the newly-made optical fiber head in, and cover it with the snap cover. In most cases, the pre-embedded optical fiber is broken in the connector, which means that the connector can no longer be reused and needs to be replaced before it can be used.

The second step is to make the adapter. Let's observe the structure of the connector first: a blue shell, a black optical fiber cold connector with an optical cable gland on it, and a screw cap of the connector at the end. After understanding the structure of the optical fiber connector, we will make the optical fiber connector. Pull the optical fiber out of the sheath, and be careful not to bend the optical fiber cable, otherwise it cannot be used. After removing the outer cover, we put the screw cap on the optical fiber, and leave it alone after putting it on. Strip off a section of bare wire larger than 22 mm from the outer sheath of the optical fiber. This is because we will use a 22 mm optical fiber tip for a while. After stripping, we must use a fiber cleaver here, which is inexpensive and relatively easy to buy. Put the fiber head on the cutting machine to cut off the part more than 22 mm. After the above steps, a standard optical fiber connector is ready.

The third step is to connect the adapter and the optical fiber. Insert the optical fiber head into the hole at the back of the connector, and the insertion depth is about the degree of slight bending of the optical fiber. Don't use too much force when inserting, so as not to break. Next, put the cover of the quick connector to fix the optical fiber connector, and then screw the screw cap of the optical fiber quick connector to fix it.

The installation steps of the optical fiber quick connector are not complicated, but the technical requirements for the installer are relatively high. Optical fibers have relatively high requirements for cleanliness, and if they are contaminated during installation, signal failure or interruption will occur. Use your nails to strip and cut the wires. This method is not feasible and will cause the fiber to be contaminated. If the optical fiber quick connector you made cannot be used, it is probably because the optical fiber was not carefully stained with dirt or broken during the installation process.
