The production process of AOC jumper

　　The production process of AOC (Active optical cable) jumpers involves several complex steps that ensure the quality and performance of the final product. The following is a detailed overview of the AOC jumper production process:

　　First, the preparation stage

　　Material preparation: According to the production requirements, prepare the corresponding optical cables, optical transceivers (optical modules), connectors and other raw materials. The quality of these materials is crucial to the performance of the final product.

　　Equipment inspection: Inspect production equipment, such as wire strippers, crimping machines, testers, etc., to ensure that they are in good working condition.

　　Second, optical cable processing

　　Peeling: Use a wire stripper to peel off the outer skin of the optical cable to expose the internal optical fiber and reinforcement core. The peeling length needs to be determined according to the connector type and production requirements.

　　Cleaning: Use alcohol and other cleaners to clean the surface of the fiber to remove impurities such as grease and dust to ensure good contact between the fiber and the connector.

　　Cutting: Use a fiber cutter to cut the fiber flat to avoid light loss caused by uneven end faces of the fiber.

　　III. Optical transceiver and cable connection

　　Optical transceiver installation: Install the optical transceiver to one end of the optical cable to ensure that the electrical interface and optical interface of the optical transceiver are properly connected to the corresponding interface of the optical cable.

　　Fiber coupling: Coupling optical fibers to optical components within optical transceivers to ensure efficient tranSMission of optical signals. This step typically requires the use of sophisticated fiber-optic coupling equipment and processes.

　　IV. Connector installation and testing

　　Connector installation: Install a connector at the other end of the cable, such as SC, LC, MTP/MPO, etc. The installation of the connector needs to ensure that the fiber end face is well connected to the optical device in the connector.

　　Performance test: Use the tester to test the performance of the AOC jumper, including attenuation, return loss, insertion loss and other indicators. These tests can ensure that the performance of the AOC jumper meets the production requirements.

　　V. Quality control and packaging

　　Quality control: During the production process, strict quality control is required for each step to ensure stable and reliable product quality. This includes raw material inspection, production process monitoring, and finished product testing.

　　Packaging: Pack qualified AOC jumpers to ensure they are not damaged during transportation and storage. Packaging materials should comply with relevant standards and requirements.

　　VI. Special processes and requirements

　　Chip placement process: The optical transceivers used in AOC jumpers typically use advanced chip placement processes, such as the Flip-Chip process (flip-chip method), to ensure a good connection between the chip and the substrate and heat dissipation performance.

　　Fiber coupling process: Fiber coupling is one of the key processes in the production of AOC jumpers, which requires accurate alignment and efficient coupling of fibers and optical devices. This requires the use of precision fiber coupling equipment and processes, and requires high skills of operators.

　　Environmental requirements: The production process of AOC jumpers needs to be carried out in a dust-free, static-free and other specific environments to avoid the impact of dust, static electricity and other factors on product quality.

　　To sum up, the production process of AOC jumpers involves multiple complex steps and special process requirements. These steps and requirements ensure that the quality and performance of AOC jumpers are stable and reliable, and meet the needs of various application scenarios.
