Fiber optic is described as a technology that uses glass threads for transmitting data. Fiber optic cables have a bundle of glass threads in which each one is able to send out information that modulated onto light waves. By making use of this equipment, you can transfer your data electronically.

In addition, the manufacture of fiber optic can be complex. However, installing fiber optic connections is quite simple. The installation process requires gluing bare fiber optic cable to the connector and heating the connector to seal it. If you would like to make fiber optic cable connection, you will find that the method can be completed within 30 minutes.

If you want to discover about the installation of fiber optic connectors, you have come to the best place. At this time, this article is going to give you some instructions which you can follow for the installation method. Therefore, simply take a look at the following information.

The first thing that you have to do is to remove the plastic jacket at the end of your fiber optic cable. The optic cable ends have jackets for avoiding any damage in the shipping from the manufacturer. And then, you must clamp the plastic jacket by utilizing fiber optic stripper tools that have specific slot to fit the size of the fiber optic jacket. Next, you must squeeze the stripper handles like the pliers. You have to pull away the jacket from fiber optic cable.

The second thing that you must do is to open the back chamber of the epoxy glue gun which can be done by twisting off the back cap. After that, you need to insert the epoxy glue tube into the chamber and then squeeze gently. In this step, you will need a few ounces of the glue for the task. After that, you should screw the cap back on the epoxy glue gun chamber.

The third thing is to inject the epoxy glue into the socket of fiber optic connectors. Every single connector has two sockets on each side of it to make the connection. Moreover, you must insert the glue gun into the connector socket. As a way to insert the glue, you have to press and hold the trigger. The glue spot should not be bigger than an eye pupil.

The fourth thing is to put one fiber optic end into the sockets of the connector. You must hold the cable in the socket and then count to 10. Then, you must let go of the fiber optic cable and connector. Ensure that the cable keeps in place when you let go of it.

Lastly, you should place the new connection of fiber optic into an epoxy curing oven. You must switch the oven on and turn the timer knob to six minutes. In this step, you have to put the fiber optic connectors that attached to the cable into one of the curing oven slots. And then, press the start button on the oven and pull out the connector from the oven slot. For examining the stability of the connection, you should wiggle the connector end. If you know that it seems fragile, you can reinsert the connector into the oven and then cook it for a few more minutes.
