A pigtail is a type of connector used to connect fiber-optic devices, often used in fiber-optic communication systems. When installing pigtails, you need to pay attention to the following order:
Confirm the port type of the optical fiber device: Different types of optical fiber equipment have different port types, such as SC, LC, FC, etc., and you need to select the corresponding pigtail for connection according to the port type of the device.
Prepare the pigtail and fiber: According to the device port type and connection distance, select the appropriate length of pigtail and fiber for connection.
Clean the fiber and pigtail: Clean the fiber and pigtail with detergent or alcohol to ensure that the surface is clean and free of oil stains.
Peel off the pigtail skin: Use wire strippers to peel off the pigtail skin to expose the fiber core inside.
Install the pigtail: Insert the pigtail into the port of the fiber optic device and make sure that the pigtail matches the device port.
Install the fiber: Insert the fiber into the pigtail to make sure the fiber matches the pigtail core.
Fusion splicing of pigtails: Welding of pigtails is carried out by a fusion splicer to ensure that the quality of the splice meets the requirements.
Test the connection: Test the quality of the connection with a fiber optic test instrument to ensure that the connection quality meets the requirements.
It should be noted that when carrying out pigtail installation, the instructions and operating procedures for the use of fiber optic equipment should be strictly followed to ensure the quality and safety of the connection. At the same time, pigtails and optical fibers that meet the requirements of the best specifications should be selected to ensure the connection effect.
