Causes and Analysis of Optical Cable Communication Faults

We all know that commonly used optical cables are divided into OPGW optical cables, ADSS optical cables, OPPC optical cables, and various other types according to different fields of use, such as mine optical cables, buried optical cables, underwater optical cables, overhead optical cables, etc.

If these optical cables are carefully installed, there will be less trouble in future use. If they are properly maintained, they can also help people reduce unnecessary losses. However, there are still some objective reasons that cause optical cable communication failures, and there are many economic and personnel problems. loss, then this article mainly introduces the cause of communication failure of armored optical cable for you, and analyzes why this failure occurs.

The armored parts of the optical cable are all metal conductors. If the power line is short-circuited or the metal parts are struck by lightning, a strong current will be generated to destroy the optical cable line equipment, and even casualties will occur in severe cases.

1. Lightning shock

The armored parts of the optical cable are all metal conductors. If the power line is short-circuited or the metal parts are struck by lightning, a strong current will be generated to destroy the optical cable line equipment, and even casualties will occur in severe cases.

2. Poor insulation of optical cable lines

If the insulation of the communication optical cable line is not good, the working strength of the optical cable will be greatly reduced due to stress corrosion and electrostatic fatigue when the junction box is submerged or wet, and in severe cases, disconnection cases will occur.

3. The influence of external force

Line faults are usually caused by external forces. Since many communication optical cable lines are laid on site, the general burial standard is deeply buried in the ground, so it is impossible to effectively avoid the damage of many external factors to the optical cable lines.

4. Fault at the line joint

Line intersections are the most prone to failures, because the optical fibers at the intersections have no protection for the original cable structure or the protection function is significantly weakened, so the daily operation and protection work can only rely on the junction box, which leads to a substantial increase in the probability of failure.

The above 4 kinds of faults are the most important reasons for the communication faults of armored optical cables summed up over the years, and these faults are also analyzed and how to deal with and avoid these faults.
