Cable: the cable protects the fibers from stress during installation and from environmental conditions when it is already installed. The cables can contain one to hundreds of fibers. There are three types of cables: tight-fitting structures with a thick plastic coating that protects each fiber, which is mainly used in an internal plant; those of loose structure ( loose tube ), which consist of a single primary buffer coating for the fibers that are inside plastic tubes; and ribbon type cables They are tape-shaped, which allows small cables to contain a large number of fibers.
Jacket: cable outer sheath of resistant material. Cable jackets installed inside buildings must be made of special materials to comply with fire codes.
Reinforcement elements: aramid fibers (Kevlar is the commercial name of Dupont) used as reinforcement elements that allow cable tension. This term is also used to refer to the fiberglass rods present in some cables that are used to harden it and thus avoid deformations.
Shielding: prevents rodents from damaging the cable when chewing.
Termination and splicing
Connector: a provisional device for connecting two fibers by means of a temporary connection or connecting fibers to the equipment. Connectors should occasionally be disconnected for testing or rerouting.
Fusion: the permanent union between two fibers mainly used to concatenate (join) long fibers in external plant installations and place the connector fiber cables (pigtail) to terminate them.
Fiber optic certifications
Mechanical splicing: fusion in which the fibers are aligned mechanically.
Fusion splice: fusion created by welding or fusing two fibers.
Fiber optic fuser: An instrument that splices fibers when fused or welded, usually with an electric arc.
