How to Use Bare Fiber Adapter

What is bare fiber adapter? Bare fiber adapter is a media which can provide direct solution for matching the bare fiber with other optical components coupling and connection without splice machine.

Bare fiber adapters are mainly used to connect the fiber jumper, pigtail which without polished with bare fiber to test the link loss. It is used as an fiber connector temporally to test an optical component or system after simple operation.
The advantages of bare fiber adapter: can be used repeatedly at low cost. Especially for urgent cabling connection without adding permanent connector to test the function when connecting to power meter, OTDR and other instruments. It is easy, fast and efficient to contractors and technique workers. It can be used to:
1）connect the bare fiber temporally
2）test the bare fiber on reel or the cable before after installation
3）fiber cable production line
4）temporary and fast connection in telecom system
5）temporary connection with OTDR, power meter, talk sets, dark fiber ect.
How to use bare fiber adapter?
1）Strip the fiber
Strip the coating around 15~20mm, keep the length according to actual bare fiber adapter, then wipe the fiber.
2）Insert the fiber into the adapter
Press the part with spring to insert the fiber to ceramic ferrule till it extend out 3-5mm length , then position the fiber. Check the fiber endface, adjust the fiber when required.
3）Cleave the fiber then do the optical test. If the test result is not optimistic, check the fiber cleave end is good, cleave it and test again. The qualified components can be used or fused in system
