Measuring and soldering equipment, repair tool

We would like to offer a series of articles on installing and maintaining fiber optic networks for your attention. The first article in a series is devoted to the types of fiber optic cables.

For optical fiber stripping, as well as for splicing, a number of specific tools are needed: strippers, screwdrivers, side cutters, scissors for Kevlar, as well as a pump or bottle for alcohol.

There are many designs for fiber optic splice closures. The most widespread and most often used design has a dome-like container from which cable bushing sleeves are sticking out.

From this article you will learn about adapters and connectors used in FO cables. Optical cross connect cases are characterized by the adapters used (or if we put it simply – optical sockets).
