What should you do in patch panel installations

by www.fiber-mart.com
Many people who have a brief introduction of fiber patch panel, the device conducive to cable management may be from the Google or my blog, well, but when we really want to use the fiber optic patch panel, what preparations of the patch panel we should do, this article will give you the answer. As for some people say that my blog has too few pictures, and I try to show more.
 
fibre patch panel
 
First, ensure a length of spare cable (slack) is provided within the cabinet (5m recommend). As well as being required to facilitate the termination of the cable will allow for the possibility of Pre-terminated patch Panel, repair and ability to relocate the panel if required in the future.
 
The spare cable may require special stowage requirements in the installation. Before termination, always cut off the first meter of cable as this part can be damaged after pulling the cable, bending etc…The removal of this 1m section to the final amount of cable slack provided.
 
chassis
 
Slide the sliding drawer off the chassis (fixed part) – lift the drawer up to disassembled it from the chassis.
chassis part
 
Keep the drawer in an upwards position and pull it forwards.
step 2
 
When reaching the end of the chassis, lift the drawer more and unhook, now both parts are separated.
step 3
 
The L-shape brackets of the chassis can be installed forward or recessed. By default, it is installed in the forward position. Change it to the right position is dependant on the available space between the 19″ frame and tge cabinet door.
 
Then, position the chassis into the rack.
 
Remember to complete earthing requirements for metallic items using the screw and star washer provide a suitable earthing cable.
 
The hole for the screw is located at the rear of the panel on the left-hand side of the chassis
 
Thread the cable through the chassis of the Black Box Patch Panel. Make sure to respect the minimum bending radius while handling the cable.
 
Tips:
 
1. Sliding drawer preparation
 
For direct termination or pre-term installation: install the 4 support bases using the 4 small screws, washes from the screw kit provided and insert 4 loop rings on every support base, with the loop ring opening facing inwards. They will be used later to support the fibers.
 
2. For splicing
 
Install the first splice cassette on the drawer using the 2 longer screws and associated locking washers from the screw kit. The additional cassettes will be installed at a later stage. To connect the additional splice cassettes the hinges at the back of the splice cassettes will be used. Up to 4 splice cassettes can be installed according to the number of fibers to be terminated.

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
