Some Inspection Tools for Fiber Optics

The practicality of communication that uses fiber optic cable is nowadays wanted by a lot of people either for personal or business needs. This kind of cable allows the system to pass the signals in a bundle of glass conductors in faster speed over longer distances. However, due to the spun glass material used in making the conductors, these cable is limited by its light weight as well as frangibility. Therefore, in order to allow you to examine some problems in without causing damage to the conductor, there are several useful tools that you should provide. Here they are.

The first tool is fiber optic microscope. This is a high powered optical magnifier that delivers a lead, or pigtail. This certain feature allows you to examine the cable in place. Usually, the system produces its own illumination so you can take a look at the conductor closely to discover any chips, breaks or other malformations. Those are the most common causes of bad signal continuity or bad speed of passing data. This system is also usually able to magnify a cable target range from 200 to 1000 times depending on the quality and cost of the product.

The second tool will be digital continuity/tone source and detection units. This is a certain unit that is integrated with a fiber cable that works well in determining the signal efficiency. This unit works well by allowing the continuity unit in generating an internal signal from the end of the unit to the terminal point that is located at the end of the cable. At this certain point, the unit will automatically measure the signal that could be gained by the cable in amplitude (signal volume). Besides, this unit will also discover the electrical resistance throughout the length of the cable, so it could verify the efficiency of the cable as well.

The third tool is optical power measurement. This unit throws down light signal in high intensity through the length of fiber optical cable. It will work well in measuring the luminescent level form the test unit to a terminal point and back.

Those are some great inspection tools that will support fiber optic system of cabling. Just provide those tools to support your needs in examining problems or damage of your cable.

It is no secret that we need the right kind of tools for any kind of job. If you fail to use proper equipment, then you end up with a shoddy job. The same applies to fiber optic networks. In order to work with


these networks, it is important to have the right kit at hand. This will help you take care of the task swiftly and precisely.

A fiber termination kit is very handy for fiber optic termination as well as for splicing and testing purposes. These kits are essential parts of any fiber optic expert since it helps make their job much easier.

You want to make sure that you get a kit with all the right instruments. You will be needing electrical tape, kelvar scissors, a set of screwdrivers, tweezers and pliers. That's not all, you might also need safety glasses since you do not want to damage your eyes It is always better to come well prepared in advance to prevent any accidents.

Another handy thing that comes in a good fiber termination kits is a black marker for creating precise marks, this prevents mistakes. Also, an emergency lamp is also something to keep by your side.

There are a few more tools that come in such a kit but we just mentioned the main ones. All of these tools come in a hard plastic tool case that is easy to carry around and durable. This way, you will not worry about dropping it during work.

In order to test fiber optic networks, you will need to have a good quality tester. These equipments come in a variety of models. These testers are for checking the length, fiber loss, locating events on the cables and other characteristic of the fiber.
