AUTHOR'S PREFACE Installing fiber optic connectors is not
difficult: when my two sons were 10 and 13, I trained them to
install connectors. They achieved the three goals of installation:
low power loss, low installation cost, and high reliability. They
did so, even though they had their CD players plugged into their
ears (Now I've dated myself ) This text guides you to achieve these
three goals. This is no idle boast: in training installers, I have
observed the results and refined these procedures to include only
those instructions that work for almost all trainees. The
procedures in this manual reflect refinement from 21 years of
training, more than 500 presentations, and more than 7900 trainees.
With very few exceptions, all trainees have achieved these three
goals So will you. This text guides you through successively
increased understanding and knowledge, from basic to subtle.
Chapter 1 provides the basic understanding of connectors in the
network. Chapter 2 provides a detailed understanding of the
language of fiber connectors: their functions, structure,
performance, types, similarities, advantages, and installation
methods. With this understanding, you can understand Chapter 3.
Chapter 3 presents the principles of installation for four commonly
used methods. This understanding of the principles underlying the
procedures has three benefits. First, you know the consequences of
failure to follow the instructions. Second, you are more likely to
follow the instructions than you would be without this
understanding. Third, you perform troubleshooting with an extensive
understanding of the potential causes of high loss and low
reliability. Chapter 4 presents instructions for inspecting
connectors that require polishing. These instructions show you how
to inspect, rate, and diagnose causes of high loss. With this
chapter, you can easily identify causes of high loss and
appropriate corrective actions. Chapters 5-8 present detailed
instructions for four commonly used methods. Each set of
instructions guides you to achieve the three goals. These
instructions include 'do not do's' and cautions. These 'do not
do's' and cautions help you avoid the commonly-made errors I've
observed during training of more than 7000 installers. With minor
modifications, these chapters can be used to install or train with
any connector available. In addition, each chapter contains two
useful sections: a troubleshooting section and a one-page summary.
The troubleshooting section helps you recognize the symptom of an
error and identify the step(s) at which the error occurred. This
section speeds up achieving the three goals. During field
installations, you can use a copy of the one page summary as a
guide and reminder. Chapter 5 presents installation and polishing
of multimode connectors. In addition, it contains polishing
instructions for singlemode epoxy and quick cure adhesive
connectors to achieve -50 dB reflectance. Chapter 6 presents
installation and polishing of multimode connectors with quick cure
adhesive. Chapter 7 presents installation and polishing of
multimode connectors with hot melt adhesive. Chapter 8 presents
installation of both multimode and singlemode connectors with the
no-polish, no adhesive method, also known as the 'cleave and crimp'
method. This manual contains review questions for Chapters 2-8 to
assist you and the trainer in assessing and reinforcing
understanding. When used prior to hands on training, these
questions can lead to excellent results, both in training and in
field installation. This manual is one of a series on Mastering
Fiber Optics. Published manuals are: Professional Fiber Optic
Installation-Essentials For Success Mastering The OTDR-Trace
