Most precision cutters that are used to splice

By niveksuhail

Most precision cutters that are used to splice or terminate pre-polished splice connectors hold the fiber after passing through it, so the only problem is getting rid of it. We recommend using a
disposable container such as those used for soups in take-out restaurants. Use it for all fiber debris and then seal it and dispose of it properly. 

You can also organize your workplace to avoid problems. Use black plastic cloth for the work surface. It will be easier to see the fibers with which you are working with the black background and you can handle them more carefully. Any fiber that falls on the mat will be easier to find to be discarded.   

Some technicians prefer to adhere a piece of double tape or black insulating tape on the mat and that the fibers stick to the adhesive surface and then discard the tape when finished.  I prefer to simply use a disposable container and put each remaining fiber in the container, instead of leaving them exposed on the work surface.

Other security considerations

Chemicals: Splices and fiber optic terminations use various chemical cleaners and adhesives as part of the process. Proper handling of these substances must be complied with. Even the simple isopropyl alcohol used as a cleanser is flammable and should be handled with care. If requested, manufacturers provide the substance safety data sheet (MSDS) or can be found on the Internet. 

Dangers during fusion: The fusers use an electric arc to make the splices, so care must be taken 
that there are no flammable gases present at the place where the fusion splice is being performed.
No smoking: Nor should you allow smoking near where you are working with fiber optics. Cigarette ashes contribute to the problems of fibers and dirt, and there may be combustible substances (and, 
of course, health risks).

One strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair

By niveksuhail
As the saying goes, one strand of optical fiber is about the diameter of a human hair.CORNING It’s an amazing idea. Now, copper wires—sometimes called “twisted pair” because they are made of pairs of strands of copper twisted around one another—also carry data and telephone signals to homes and farms in much of rural America. But because of the characteristics of copper as a transmission medium, signals that travel over copper doesn’t have the extraordinary frequency range that light signals do, are subject to interference from other signals, and in general, degrade very quickly over more than a short distance. That’s why if you have a copper-wire DSL (digital subscriber line) subscription, you have to be very close to the phone company’s “central office” to get a download signal into your house. A DSL house is connected to a copper wire, not a fiber-optic cable. fiber optic installer salary Not only can light travel over fiber for hundreds of miles with little attenuation (im...

There are two methods that are used to measure the loss

By niveksuhail
There are two methods that are used to measure the loss by insertion with a light source and power meter, a "connection cable test", also called "single-end loss", according to the TIA FOTP-171 standard, and a "cable network test installed" or "loss of two ends", according to the TIA OFSTP-14 (multimode) and OFSTP-7 (single mode) standard. The difference between the two tests is that the single loss test end uses only a launch cable and tests only the connector attached to the launch cable plus the fiber and any other component in the cable. The single-end test is mainly used to test connection cables or short cables since you can test each connector individually. The two-end loss check uses a launch cable and a receive cable attached to the meter and measures the loss of the connectors at both ends of the cable under test. The single-end check is generally used in connection cables to be able to test the connectors at each end of an indi...
