Fiber Optic Cable Junction Connection Method
Home / Fiber Optic Cable Junction Connection Method
Fiber optic joints or terminations are made two ways: 1) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers or 2) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear. Active connection utilizes various fiber optic connectors (plugs and sockets) to connect site-to-site or site-to-cable. This method is flexible, simple, convenient, and reliable, commonly used in building computer network cabling. The fiber optic cables have a glass core covered with cladding, coatings, and, typically, Kevlar membranes to add strength.
