For those who want to have the high-speed internet connection in your home or your office, you can install the fiber optics technology. If you use this technology, you will not only get the high-speed internet connection but also the connection which will not be interrupted by the radio frequencies or other electronic devices.
The usage of the fiber optics wire is increasing nowadays. If it was used only for the internet connection, now people use it for the television, speaker, or even home theatre. The application of the technology increases even though the main use is for the internet connection. When you want to install this technology, the biggest steps to prepare the technology are terminating the wire.
If you learn the wire termination, you can modify your network or the devices. The knowledge will also help you to find the job in the telecommunications or the technical industries.
To do that, you will need some things like the cable stripper, cable crimper, curing oven, curing holder, epoxy, fiber claver, 5-15 micron film, 3-6 micron diamond film, 5 micron aluminum oxide film, 1 micron diamond film, HX film, and the important thing is the fiber optics wire.
The first step you should do is stripping the wire's end with the cable stripper. After that you can inject the epoxy to the connector ferrule. Next, you should insert the wire to the connector wall. You have to protrude inch of the wire's bare code from the ferrule front.
The next step is crimping the wire by using the cable crimper. This step will make the connection between the jacket secure and the connector. You place the wire to the curing holder. It is better for you to put the connector to face the downward. Then, you can cure the wire with the curing oven.
After that, you can cleave the fiber with the fiber cleaver as close to the ferrule tip. You have to polish the wire tip with 5-15 micron film, 3-6 micron diamond film, 5 micron aluminum oxide film, 1 micron diamond film, and the HX film. You sand down the wire's tip.
