What should I do if the optical fiber leaks out of the internal core?

Update Time:2025-04-08Traffic:

  When the fiber leaks out of the internal core, the following measures can be taken to deal with it:

  I. Interim measures

  Protect the site: First, ensure that the area of the fiber leaking out of the core is not further damaged. Avoid stepping on, pulling or bending the fiber to prevent the core from breaking or further damage.

  Isolation: If possible, isolate the part of the fiber that leaks out of the core from other objects or people to prevent further physical damage or safety issues.

  Second, professional repair steps

  Assess the damage:

  Examine the degree of damage to the fiber core, including whether it is broken, worn or contaminated.

  Evaluate whether the overall performance and tranSMission quality of the optical fiber are affected.

  Prepare the repair tool:

  Prepare fiber cutter, fiber stripper, fiber fusion splicer, fiber cleaner, fiber heat shrinkable tube and other tools.

  Make sure all tools are in good working condition and comply with relevant safety standards.

  Clean up and protect:

  Use a fiber cleaner to gently wipe the fiber core and surrounding sheath to remove dirt and grease.

  Heat shrinkable sleeves are placed over the fiber core to protect it from further damage.

  Reconnect or weld:

  If the fiber core has been broken, the broken part needs to be re-fused together using a fiber fusion machine.

  Make sure the welding quality is good and test it with an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to verify the transmission performance of the fiber.

  Fixed and encapsulated:

  Fix the repaired fiber in place to ensure no further physical damage.

  The repair part is encapsulated with heat shrinkable sleeves or other packaging materials to improve the mechanical strength and water resistance of the optical fiber.

  III. Preventive measures

  Periodic inspections and maintenance:

  Periodically inspect and maintain fiber optic lines to detect and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.

  Use professional inspection tools and equipment to evaluate the performance and transmission quality of optical fibers.

  Utilize high-quality materials:

  During the installation and maintenance of fiber optic lines, high-quality fibers, jackets, and other related materials are used.

  Avoid using low-quality or substandard materials to reduce the risk of fiber damage.

  Strengthen training and awareness raising:

  Provide professional training for the installation and maintenance personnel of fiber optic lines to enhance their skills and safety awareness.

  Strengthen employees' awareness and emphasis on fiber optic line protection to reduce fiber optic damage caused by human factors.

  In summary, when the fiber leaks out of the internal core, timely and effective measures should be taken to ensure the normal operation and transmission quality of the fiber optic line. At the same time, strengthening the implementation and enforcement of preventive measures is also an important means to reduce the risk of fiber damage.
