The purpose of this video is to provide training on the repair limitations of fiber optic cable issues and damage.
Broken fiber optic cable.
The most common damage is a broken fiber which is difficult to detect.
The failure of optical fiber cable will lead to a interruption for data transmission so to fix the damaged optical cable in time is an important task.
The basic approach to pulling fiber optic cable and copper cable is similar.
This online session will guide you through.
It is quite difficult to test a damaged cable making the choice of replacing your fiber optic wires the best alternative.
While fiber optic wires are designed to be resistant damage still happens.
However optical fiber has a few idiosyncrasies.
After going through the steps for repairing the fiber optic cable you may wonder whether you should chose the mechanical splicing or fusion splicing.
Thats worse than just broken.
While patch cables are fairly robust this cable is faulty when the door is closed but working when the door is open.
