When splicing, make sure tools are in good condition and clean. Ensure your fiber cleaver hasn’t exceeded the maximum usage recommended by the manufacturer.
Make sure the fiber termination area is clean. Fiber is so tiny and sensitive that even some dirt or debris can cause trouble.
Make sure you clean the tips before connecting fiber to equipment.
Think about Safety: Wear goggles! Could you make sure you have tape to catch broken fibers? Fiber, made of glass, can be sharp and penetrate your skin.
Do not exceed fiber optic cable specifications: Pulling Tension or Minimum Bend Radius
Make sure you install the correct cable: indoor/Outdoor, CMR, CMP, Aerial, Burial, or Direct Burial.
Make sure you calculate for the extra maintenance loop on each side.

Fiber Optic Enclosure – Helps organize fiber strands and houses the fiber connectors. It can be rack mount or wall mount. It can be indoor or outdoor. This product help minimize damage to the fiber cable and or termination. If you do break a termination or connectors, most of the time, it will be on the fiber patch cord side, which are very inexpensive and easy to replace.
Fiber Optic Conduit – Use to protect the fiber cable. It’s typically orange – Most tech see orange conduit, they will typically know or assumed it’s a fiber cable inside. This product also give the fiber cable an extra layer of protection from the element, whether it is water, run rays, and or animals or rodents.
Fiber Optic Connectors – Typically SC, ST, or LC.
Fiber Optic Patch Cable – Use to patch equipment to fiber connectors. It can be same connectors on both ends or it can be different ends. A good example for using patch cables on different end would be, you have SC connectors on your fiber cables, but your equipment have LC connectors. In this case, you would purchase a patch cable with LC and SC connectors. Fiber optic patch cable also comes in different length which makes it flexible.
Fiber Optic Module – AKA – Fiber optic inserts or jack – Use to terminate fiber optic cable to a desk and or wall jack. Make it easy to plug and or unplug a jack.
Fiber Optic Splicer – Use to repair fiber optic cable that have been broken or cut. It can be mechanical or fusion splice. This product comes very handy, especially when time is sensitive. It’s much faster and less expensive to repair a fiber then it is to run new fiber cables in most cases. Fiber Optic Fusion splicer in simple term, can splice or weld two fibers cables or connectors with same specs together. Example, splicing an OS1 cables with OS1 pigtails, or splicing an om3 fiber cable with another om3 fiber cable. You wouldn’t want to splice os1 fiber optic cable with an om2 fiber cable.
Fiber Optic Splitter – A passive network splitter that will divide one incoming fiber signal to multiple signal. It is also known as single point to multi-point splitter. Most commonly use in home (Fiber to the Home – FTTH) application. It help keeps cost down dramatically. Incoming signal typically comes from the CO or Central Office. It then comes to the Fiber optic-splitter. From here the splitter goes to a termination point, which can be patch to a home. One very cool thing about this devices is that it uses no power (AC or DC that is). Imagine we have an ethernet network switch that uses no power?
Optical Network Terminal – Typically install outside the house. ONT typically converts fiber optic light to ethernet or copper which are more common on for routers and PC. Some ONT even deliver analog dial tone. In a way, it is a media converter.
Fiber Optic Pigtails– Fiber optic pigtail factory made cable with connectors on one end and the other end un-terminated. Why use factory pigtails? It has lower loss and typically have better connections than those made in the field. We typically use a fusion splicer to weld fiber pigtails to the fiber optic cables. Fiber pigtails can comes in as many different options: Single-Mode, Multi-Mode, LC connectors, SC Connectors, ST Connectors, 2 strands, 4 strands, 6 strands, 12 strands, 24 strands, etc. As you can imagine now, the possibilities are endless. Many factory can customize pig tails to your orders as well.
Fiber Optic Media Converter– Fiber Optic Media Converter are typically used to convert Fiber to Ethernet. Typically, we use the same on both sides of the fiber cables.
Powered Fiber Cable – Fiber Optic cable can be single-mode or multi-mode. It has an extra pair of powered cables to power on low voltage devices such as PoE Switches, Security Cameras, Access Point, et
Did you know that the width of a Single-Mode fiber is only 9 microns? The average width of human hair is 100 microns. Let that sink in for a bit.
