How to reverse the polarity of LC uniboot connector?

As we all know, the normal cabling uses a single fiber connector to maintain the polarity requirement. “B” sends the signal while “A” receives the signal. However, there are two types of duplex patch cord to complete serial duplex connection, “A-to-B” or “A-to-A”, which is depending on the polarity method.

Traditional LC optical fiber patch cord has great limitations in realizing polarity conversion. It requires not only auxiliary tools, but also special attention to the direction of polarity conversion, which is easily caused in failed termination.

The lc uniboot connector option includes an easy polarity revisable feature that provides quick and easy polarity changes in the field. Innovatively set the two plugs of the fiber optic connector to be interchangeable. Easily strip the boot and reverse the polarity. To reverse polarity, you just need three steps.

Step 1
Strip the boot and the outer housing

Firstly, use the right hand to hold the front housing of the connector. The hand can not touch the end face of the ferrule. Then pull out the tail sleeve of the connector with left hand. The left thumb and the middle finger pinch the outer frame,and the index finger nails hold the outer frame shrapnel.

Step 2
Revise the polarity

When the shrapnel opens out, hold the frame front cover with your right hand and pull it forward, and then revise the AB polarity.

Step 3
Relocate the boot and the outer housing

After the revise the polarity, relocate the outer frame and boot in order from the back.

The LC uniboot fiber optic connector eliminate the need for tools when making the polarity change. No tools are needed during the whole process.

A LC uniboot fiber connector with push-pull tab makes it much easier to release the connector. With this design, the technician is able to finish the installing and removing procedures with only one hand and no additional tool are needed. It is ideal for ultra high density cabling.

HYC’s LC Uniboot connectors offer the best solution for high-density applications, Data centers, Private Networks and premise installations.

LC Optical Adapter with Inner Shutter

With increasingly high-powered active devices being used in optical network transmission, it becomes more and more important to effectively prevent eyes from being damaged by potentially harmful beams. In order to meet this requirement, two kinds of fiber adapters have been designed. Fiber optic adapters with external or internal shutters.

HYC LC fiber optic adapter with inner shutter which has shutter plates inside to proof the dust and the light. The inner shutter prevents accidental exposure of the beam and protects the eyes from potentially harmful light. At the same time, it can also play a role in dust prevention, to ensure the internal cleaning of the adapter, avoid the impact of ferrule tip.

The internal shutters are fully automatic. No matter which angle the connector is inserted, the end face of the ferrule will not touch the shutter plate. So that the ferrule will not be soiled or damaged, and the precise connection of the end face is ensured.

Minimize eye exposure to lasers while providing continuous coupler protection from dust and contaminants with these internal shutter adapters.

PLC Fiber Optic Splitter In ABS Type

Optical splitter is one of the most important passive components in the optical fibre link. PLC Splitter, based on Planar Lightwave Circuit technology and precision aligning process, can divide single/dual optical inputs into multiple optical outputs uniformly and is denoted 1×N or 2×N. Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitter is a type of optical power management device to distribute optical signals from Central Office (CO) to multiple premise subscriber locations.

The ABS box is one of the packaging methods of the PLC splitter. In addition to the ABS box type, the PLC splitter is also classified into a rack type, a bare line type, a plug type, a tray type, and more. The ABS PLC splitter is the most commonly used splitter in PON networks and has the following features:

Compact design, flexible installation

ABS PLC splitter provides the complete protection for inner optical components and cable, as well as designed for the convenient and reliable installation. In addition to providing reliable protection, ABS Box PLC Optical Splitters can also be installed in a variety of wiring closets or enclosures. The input fiber and the output fiber are compact compact in a layer of optical waveguide made of quartz substrate, which can provide easier and more flexible wiring. It can be directly installed in various existing junction boxes without needing a lot of installation space.

Uniform distribution of optical signal

The most common split ratios are 1:N or 2:N. N represents the output ports, usually as 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.  HYC’s PLC splitter offers superior optical performance, high stability and high reliability, meet various application requirements in different environments.

WDM for Optical Fiber Capacity Expansion

WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) provides an easy-to-implement solution for long-distance transmission of high-speed and large-capacity information, which would increase transmission capacity of the communication network.

The traditional optical transmission method is that one fiber can only transmit one wavelength signal in a single time, while WDM transmits several wavelengths of light simultaneously over a single optical fiber. WDM mainly realizes wavelength multiplexing and demultiplexing through a combiner and a splitter. At the transmitting end, signals of multiple wavelengths are multiplexed together by a combiner and coupled to the one same optical fiber for transmission; At the receiving end, the optical signals of different wavelengths are separated by a splitter to restore the original signal. The wavelength division multiplexer has both multiplexing and demultiplexing functions. In long-distance transmission, an optical amplifier is usually used to enhance the optical singal transmission to aviod minimum attenuation.

The index of characteristics of WDM includes insertion loss, return loss, polarization loss, channel isolation, operating temperature, etc. The two most important characteristics to be measured are insertion loss and isolation.Insertion loss refers to the attenuation caused by the insertion of WDM filter into the optical transmission system. The lower the insertion loss, the better.The isolation refers to the degree to which one channel signal interferes with another channel, and the higher the degree of isolation, the better.

Features:

Multiply the transmission capacity. The characteristics of WDM enable it to make full use of the bandwidth resources of the fiber, so that the transmission capacity of one fiber is increased by multiple times than that of a single wavelength. With a channel rate of 10 Gbit/s or 2.5 Gbit/s, the number of WDM channels can be can be up to more than 32, ensuring that the transmission capacity can reach 300~400Gbit/s.

Good compatibility. WDM has good compatibility with different signals. When transmitting signals with different properties such as image, data and voice, each wavelength is independent from each other and does not interfere with each other to ensure the transparency of transmission.

On the basis of not changing the existing basic network architecture, WDM allows you to expand capacity without replacing your existing infrastructure and with minimal, if any, service interruption.
