1. Selection Recommendations
• Define Application: Choose single-mode fiber optic cable for home use and multimode fiber optic cable for data centers.
• Check Certifications: Choose products that comply with ITU-T standards (such as G.652, G.657).
• Brand Selection: Prioritize well-known brands such as Huawei, YOFC, and Corning.
• Match Equipment: Ensure the fiber optic cable is compatible with optical modules and connectors (such as LC, SC).
2. Maintenance Considerations
• Avoid Bending: A small bending radius in the fiber optic cable can lead to signal attenuation.
• Clean Connectors: Use specialized tools to clean the fiber optic end faces to prevent dust from affecting transmission.
• Regular Inspection: Use an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to check for fiber optic cable loss and breaks.
• Professional Installation: Fiber optic cable installation must be completed by a professional team to avoid damage.
