Excessive thickness and thickening of the splice are often caused by excessive fiber feed-in and excessively rapid advancement. Executive Summary: A fiber optic pigtail is one of the most commonly specified yet least understood components in structured cabling. Both of these issues require adjustment. Manufacturers have invented and tested many different ways of attaching a connector to that hair-thin strand of glass, including various methods of gluing, crimping or clamping. In this blog post, we'll examine the factors that affect splice performance, including intrinsic factors, extrinsic factors, and core diameter mismatch. Covers root causes, quick checks, corrective actions, and how LIMS, SPC, and digital recordkeeping help you stop repeat failures. Whether you are working in a data center or on a rural broadband rollout, our goal is to provide reliable hardware that makes your work in the field.
