Fiber optic cable and fiber optic faults

With the continuous improvement of network quality, the stability and safety of physical fiber optic cable lines have attracted more and more attention. Today, I will introduce several common causes of accidents in fiber optic cable failures.

The insulation of fiber optic cable is too poor

If the fiber optic cable line is not well insulated when it is laid, the splice box is easy to enter water or is in a damp situation. If things go on like this, it will cause stress corrosion and static fatigue of the line, which will greatly reduce the transmission strength of the optical cable. In severe cases, it will appear In the event of a cable break.

The impact of lightning on fiber optic cable failure

The internal components of the optical cable are all metal conductors. If the power line is short-circuited or the lightning strikes the metal parts, a strong current will be generated to damage the optical cable line equipment. In severe cases, there may be casualties.

Fiber optic cable fault line connector fault

Faults are most likely to occur at the line joints. This is because the fiber optic cable structure at the joints has no protection or the protection has been significantly weakened, so the protection work can only rely on the splice box, which leads to a high probability of failure. Increase.

Influence of External Forces on Fiber Optic Cable Faults

Line faults are often caused by external forces. Since many communication optical cable lines are laid outdoors, the general burial standards are deep below the ground, so it cannot effectively avoid the damage of many external factors to the optical cable lines. Such as the excavation of optical cables during road construction.

The above four types are the more common types of failures of communication optical cables at present, but please rest assured that the failure rate of communication optical fiber access cables is very low, but once we relax the daily maintenance and inspection of them, the failures will be hidden randomly or even Concentrated at a certain point in time, it will have an impact on our daily work and the development of the enterprise.
