Pre terminated fiber is a ready-to-use fiber optic cable that has connectors pre-installed on both ends and pre-tested before delivery to the customer end. This pre-terminated cable gives installers more of a “plug-and-play” option. They are factory-terminated before shipment, increasing installation efficiency and reducing installation costs. In addition, the demand for data consumption is at its peak and increasing rapidly. To satisfy this demand deployment of fast optical network infrastructure is required. Pre-terminated fiber optic cable helps to boost the deployment process. They can be designed and performance can be tested before installation.
Types of Pre-Terminated Fiber Cable
Pre-terminated armored fiber optic cable
Pre-terminated armored fiber optic cables come in two types, indoor and outdoor. Bwnfiber can customize the fiber with required connectors like SC/LC/ST connectors. In addition, it has a robust protection layer attached.
Aerial Pre-Made Fiber Cables
These fiber cables are prepared for outdoor requirements and ready to install on pole-to-pole connectivity. For transmitting HD signals Aerial Premade Fiber Cables are used.
Pre Terminated Fiber Assemblies
These types of assemblies come with pre-installed connectors and other components. In addition, they can be installed in the outside environment.
Pre Terminated Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable
These are designed and prepared for installation outdoor purposes. Pre-terminated outdoor fiber optic cable has a robust protection covering to protect the cable from water & dust.
Burial Fiber Optic Cable Pre Terminated
These fibers are premade for underground uses and are robust. They are known as direct burial fiber optic cable pre-terminated.
Pre Terminated Multimode Fiber
Pre-made fiber optic cable types of fibers are used for limited distance ranges like data centers, office premises, and FTTH.
Applications of Pre Terminated Fiber
Indoor Use
Pre-made fiber cables are very useful for Indoor Purposes FTTH (Fiber to The Home), Data Centers, and limited premises. Our Customized 96 Fibers Pre-terminated Fiber Breakout Cables offer a cost-effective solution for indoor/outdoor connections between transmission equipment and patch panels.
Outdoor Use
As Pre-terminated fiber cable assemblies are robust, they could be used outside in Harsh environmental conditions. When it is installed outside make sure to pull pre-terminated fiber carefully to avoid damage.
Plug & Play
Pre Terminated Fibers are designed and prepared according to requirements, so they can be easily installed and ready to use.
Less Expensive
Premade fiber optic cable is less expensive due to no additional components being required at the time of installation.
Scalability
Premade fiber optic cable is very easy to use and it can be used for various purposes to increase scale.
Installation of Pre Terminated Fiber
Pre-terminated fiber optic cable is easy to install as all the connectors are installed in the shrink tube. They can be directly installed and used for operation purposes. Just have to cut the needle net and outer plastic covering and insert them. In addition, the hook is attached at starting of the cable to prevent Pre terminated optic cable from breaking while pulling.
Maintenance of Premade Terminated fiber
Always use the rope to pull premade fiber optic cable through conduit and use lubricants, it will be easier. Pull premade fiber assemblies in a straight direction until the Head comes out.
Timely supervision should be done by trained engineers to check for any defects. Make sure waterproof caps are tightened properly.
Functions of Pre Terminated Fiber Cable
Fast Deployment
As premade optic fiber cables are prepared for requirement, they can easily deployed in less time.
High Performance
Pre-terminated fiber is already tested before installation so can directly use it for HD signal transmission.
Cost Effective
Pre-made fiber optic cable is installed no additional connector components are required so it reduces cost.
Selection of Premade Fiber Optic Assemblies
As per the customer’s requirement, we can select the pre-made fiber and prepare it. For short-range, pre-terminated multimode fibers are the best premade fiber optic assemblies.
Limitations of Pre Terminated Fiber Optic Assemblies
Pre-made terminated fiber assemblies are prepared for specific requirements so they cannot be used for every application.
After preparation pre-made optical fiber cable should be kept with the help of a Spool before installation.
Pre Terminated Fiber vs Traditional Fiber
1. Pre-made optical fibers are prepared for specific requirements and Traditional fibers are not prepared. For Pre Terminated fiber connectors are installed already and for Traditional Fibers additional connectors need to be installed.
2. Pre Terminated Fiber Optic cable is less costly as compared to Traditional Fiber. Pre Terminated Fiber takes less time to install as it is premade and Traditional fiber takes a long time to install.
3. Pre Terminated Fibers are strongly protected from water and dust; Traditional Fibers are robust as compared to this.
How to Increase the Life of Pre-Terminated Fiber
1. The optical fiber mode should be selected according to the correct requirements. High-quality connectors and components should be used.
2. Frequent inspection should be done by a professional Engineer. Do not bend the fiber beyond its capacity.
Future of Pre-Terminated Fiber
1. The use of pre-terminated fiber is increased in Cloud Computing, 5G, IOT, Artificial Intelligence, and smart cities.
2. Due its Faster Installations, lower cost, improved reliability, and easier scalability characteristics these fibers are futurists.
In Conclusion
Pre Terminated Optical Fiber is essential for expanding network infrastructure. With Plug & Play Characteristics speedy deployment is possible. In addition, they come in various types, and can select the type according to your requirements. Pre-made and prior testing resulted in High performance. Bwnfiber provides a variety of pre terminated fiber cables. If you need it, please contact us: [email protected].
