Tools for Fiber Optic Jointing
time2011/10/18
Fiber optic cable transmits data using light. The cable guides the light down a transparent glass cable. Since the cables transmit light, creating a clean joint between two cables is very important. A slight defect can cause the light to fusion splicer reflect from the joint, reducing the quality of the signal at the other end of the cable. The tools used for splicing or joining fiber optic cable require precision and a great deal of accuracy. Because of this, the tools can be very expensive.
Cable Stripper
To remove the insulation from a fiber optic cable, you will need a cable stripper, such as a rotary cable stripper or a jacket stripper. These fusion splicer tools will allow you to remove the jacket around a fiber optic cable without damaging the cable itself. Rotary cable strippers can be adjusted to different sizes whereas the jacket strippers usually have preset sizes.
Cleaner
Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be used to clean wires to remove dirt, gel, and grease. Rubbing alcohol, available at most grocery stores,fusion splicer is inexpensive. Other cleaners are also available, made especially for fiber optic jointing. These specialty cleaners can range in the hundreds of dollars.
