Replacing an Optical Fiber
Replacing an Optical Fiber Pre-equipped with an Optical Attenuator
- Use a fiber extractor to remove the optical fiber pre-equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
When using the fiber extractor to remove an LC fiber pre-equipped with an optical attenuator, lock the fiber connector with the fixing groove and clamp the clip on the fiber connector with the duckbill end, as shown in Figure I-3.
- Remove the LC fiber pre-equipped with an optical attenuator.
Align the fiber extractor with the fiber connector. Clamp the fiber connector with proper force as shown in Figure I-3, and then pull the fiber outwards as shown in Figure I-4.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
- Use a fiber extractor to install the optical fiber pre-equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
Figure I-5 shows the clamping method of the fiber extractor when the fiber extractor is used to install an LC fiber pre-equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Install the optical fiber pre-equipped with an optical attenuator.
Clamp the fiber connector as shown in Figure I-5. Then gently insert the fiber connector into an optical port until the clip locks the fiber connector. (You can hear a click when the fiber connector gets locked.)
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
Replacing an Optical Fiber Not Equipped with an Optical Attenuator
- Use a fiber extractor to remove the optical fiber not equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
Figure I-6 shows the clamping method of the fiber extractor when the fiber extractor is used to remove an LC fiber not equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Remove the LC fiber not equipped with an optical attenuator.
Align the fiber extractor with the fiber connector. Clamp the fiber connector with proper force as shown in Figure I-6, and then pull the fiber outwards as shown in Figure I-7.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
- Use a fiber extractor to install the optical fiber not equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
Figure I-8 shows the clamping method of the fiber extractor when the fiber extractor is used to install an LC fiber not equipped with an optical attenuator.
- Install the optical fiber not equipped with an optical attenuator.
Clamp the fiber connector according to Figure I-8, and gently insert the fiber connector into an optical port until the clip locks the fiber connector. (You can hear a click when the fiber connector gets locked.)
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
