GET TO KNOW
FIBER OPTIC / OPTICAL TOOLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
Someone
who works as a maintenance other than equipped with special expertise, the
world of maintenance is also of course known as a means of supporting the
improvement.This supporting tool is used as a medium that serves to complete
and facilitate the maintenance work.
Speaking
of the supporting device problem, in this article, I will try to explain the
understanding and function of the tools that are often used in fiber optic
world. below is the full exposure.
1. Fusion
Splicer
Fusion
splicer is often one of the tools used to connect an optical fiber core, where
the fiber is made / based on glass, and implements an electric power that has
been converted into a laser-shaped laser medium.

2. Stripper Or
Miller
Just like other cables, one such as coaxial
cable and UTP, fiber optic cable also requires this tool. This tool serves as a
medium for cutting and peeling the skin and meat cable.

3. Cleaver
This Cleaver Tools has the function to cut the
cores that the optic cable has been peeled, you need to know also that cutting
this cores must use this special tool, because the glass fiber will cut neatly.
If this process is successfully done well then the next stage, you can continue
to stage Jointing

4. Optical Power
Meter (OPM)
This
one tool has a function to know how strong the power of light signal has been
entered, this OPM also has FC interface that directly related to pathcore FC.
For those of you who do not know the formula used to perform this process, here
is the formula
(TX
- RX = ... dB divided by distance (Km)

5. Optical Time
Domain Reflectometer (RTDR)
OTDR is one of the tools used to detect the
community or the set of a ptik fiber cable within a certain distance, so that
with this tool is expected to produce a distance from two sides which is the
size of the disturbance that occurred. So to do troubleshooting can be done
well, because it will be very easy to determine a location where the
disturbance is happening. OTDR tool itself is usually used to detect Crack
Cables, Disconnect cores that have not been known the location, Disconnect the
cable or also to make bending.

6. Light Source
Basically,
this one tool has a function to provide a signal for the path to be passed, for
example to measure a path attenuation or end to end where Light Source will
serve as a medium that gives its signal.

7. Optical Fiber
Identifier
This
one tool has a function to know the direction of the signal with the direction
and direction of the power that is in the past.

8.
Visual Fault Locator
This tool is often called fiber optic fiber or
fiber optic. Its function is to test the fiber optic core. Laser will follow
Optical fiber on Optical Fiber Cable from POP Until User (end to end), when the
laser no problem core will arrive at the destination point.

9. Bit Error
Rate Test
This tool serves as a
checker TDM network connection (Time Division Multiplex) which TDM network
application is Clear Channel service that is trying to describe the author.
Specifically BER TEST for checking and knowing TX or RX error, via package and
lup deliver. |
