If you are using a mechanical splice, you will need stripping tools, mechanical splices, isopropyl alcohol and a mechanical splice assembly tool. Now you know how optical fibers work. So what is a Fiber Distribution Hub and what's its function in a fiber optic telecommunication network?
When hand terminating a fiber you will need 99% isopropyl alcohol, epoxy/adhesive, a syringe and needle, polishing (lapping) film, a polishing pad, a polishing puck, a crimp tool, stripping tools, fiber optic connectors ( or splice on connectors) and piano wire.Optical fibers utilize an optical phenomenon called total internal reflection. When light is injected into the fiber from end face, it is confined inside the core without leaking outside and losing its energy.
Then light is digitally modulated to represent 1 and 0 just like a computer, so information can be carried from... less
