Two Main Advantages Of Mechanical Splice

by Fiber-MART.COM
When it comes to the advantages of mechanical splice,several things should be taken into consideration, especially it’s cost and performance.
 
Low Costs
Owing to the low price of manufacturing, the cost of mechanical splice is also very low .Besides this, it is very easy for users to install and maintain the mechanical splice, which means that users can just follow the instructions and install it by themselves without any problem.Compared with other kinds of splice whose installation is so complex that only the specialist can finish installing it, mechanical splice is really cost-effective.
 
Excellent Performance
The excellent performance of mechanical splice can be seen in many aspects.
To begin with, the non-embedded structure has served a lot for the excellence of mechanical splice’s performance. As there is no embedded fiber and matching cream in mechanical splice,therefore, when the installation is finished, a magnifying glass can help to check the fiber ends. In this way, the large loss of fiber connection can be avoided.
 
In another way, mechanical splice also has an excellent reliability. It is due to that the clamping device of mechanical splice is made by elastic metallic material, which can avoid the emergence of aging problem. Except for this,with the anti-vibration and anti-drop device,the fiber clamping force is very reliable and the changes of temperature don’t have any impact on it.
 
Besides these, the stability continuation of mechanical splice is also very splendid.There is snapping force in its butt joint. And no inter space exists in the ends when jointing the fiber together; therefore, the connection loss is usually lower than 0.3db or even 0.1db. What’s more, since the mechanical splice does not apply the matching cream, the problems of matching cream can also be avoided.
 
In a word, mechanical splice has many advantages that others lack, and there is no doubt that excellent performance and reasonable price are what customers needed most.

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

  In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

 What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
