29.4 Cable-connector
installation
29.4.1 Introduction
This chapter contains a step-by-step description of the
cable-connector installation process. The procedure
consists of the following parts:
•
Preparation (see section 29.4.3).
•
Crimping the bush (see section 29.4.4).
•
Stripping the copper wires (see section 29.4.5).
•
Installing the socket contacts (see section 29.4.6).
•
Stripping the optical fibers (see section 29.4.7).
•
Installing the ferrules (see section 29.4.8).
•
Assembling the connector (see section 29.4.9).
29.4.2 Cable types
There are two types of optical network cables:
•
Type A cables in which the plastic optical fibers are
located next to each other (see figure 29.5, which
shows both cable ends).
•
Type B cables in which the plastic optical fibers are
located opposite to each other (see figure 29.5, both
cable ends are identical).
29.4.3 Preparation
Proceed as follows:
1 Cut the optical network cable to the required length
using the cable cutter (tool 2).
2 Determine the cable type (see section 29.4.2), since
some steps in the cable-connector installation
procedure depend on the cable type.
3 Disassemble a network connector. A network
connector consists of 10 parts (see section 29.3).
4 Slide the back housing over the cable (see
5 Using the stripping tool (tool 5), strip the outer
sheath of the cable by pushing the cable to the
mechanical stop (see figure 29.7).

Note
Due to light loss, the length of an optical
network cable must be less than 50 m.
