Clean the fiber jumper in time
Why is fiber patch cord cleaning so important? An industry survey by a telecommunications giant pointed out that connector contamination is the primary cause of network failures. It can be seen that once the optical fiber is contaminated by dust, oil and other substances, the quality of optical signal transmission will be greatly reduced. In addition, the metal particles produced by the abrasion of the connector body and the fiber shell may also block the fiber, causing signal loss and causing loss to users. Therefore, it can be said that optical fiber jumpers are actually very "fragile", and timely cleaning is essential.
Generally speaking, fiber patch cord cleaning is mainly for the connectors at both ends. There are two main cleaning methods, namely dry cleaning and wet cleaning. There is a slight difference between the two and can be used together. Commonly used dry cleaning tools include cassette-type optical fiber cleaning box and one-touch cleaning pen, etc. Wet cleaning tools include dust-free wipe paper and cleaning stick.
Reasonable storage of optical fiber jumpers
Regardless of whether the fiber jumper is in use, the first thing to remember is: Do not bend or stretch excessively. This is a common mistake that everyone makes, and the worst result is to damage the jumper. Some damage caused by bending is visible to the naked eye. However, the loss in some cases may not be easily judged, such as micro-deformation of optical fiber caused by ultra-low temperature, millimeter-level displacement caused by defects of buffer or jacket, poor installation or other factor. Since this type of damage cannot be found directly, it is often overlooked and may cause bigger problems in the long run. To avoid further losses, when the jumper must be replaced, the following factors should be considered:
Do not bend the fiber jumper beyond its minimum bending radius, especially in the narrow space of high-density fiber wiring.
