Fiber Optic Cable Termination

The type of connector to be used in the termination depends on the type of cable and application.

Fiber optic cable termination.

1 connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear left or 2 splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers right. Fiber optic cable termination there are many types of optical connectors. Termination tools ensure the fiber optic cables are properly prepared for the termination with the fiber optic connectors or to be fusion spliced together. Cables are manufactured in two types.

No area of fiber has been given greater attention than termanation. The fibers need to have connectors fitted before they can attach to other equipment. Two common solutions for fiber cable termination are pigtails and fanout kits or breakout kits. A fiber optic cable termination that attaches to a piece of equipment is called a connector.

Fiber cable termination is the addition of connectors to each optical fiber in a cable. We terminate fiber optic cable two ways with connectors that can mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear or with splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers. The connector is a mechanical device mounted on the end of a fiber optic cable light source receiver or housing. Fiber optic termination tools are groups of products that are utilized for the fusion splicing or direct termination of the fiber optic cables.

The connection of two cables is called a splice. Fiber optic terminations happen at the end of a cable where it connects to a piece of equipment or to another cable. Fiber optic joints or terminations where cables are terminated are made two ways. The one you use depends on the equipment you are using it with and the application you are using it on.

The purpose of fiber optic termination is to enable fiber cross connection and light wave signal distribution.
