12-core optical cable termination tutorial
This FOA virtual hands-on (VHO) tutorial on fiber optics covers fiber optic cable termination using an epoxy/polish connector process. We terminate fiber optic cable two ways - with connectors that can mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear or with splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers. Proper fiber optic termination is a crucial process for ensuring the reliability, performance, and long-term durability of any fiber optic network. Optimal performance can be achieved by following the correct process for termination of the fiber circuit—a task which requires the use of a wide range of specialized tooling.
