These mechanical splice connectors are great, they work well. My dog chewed my incoming cable and it was a week before an engineer could be sent out. I purchased a cheap tool set with fiber cutters and cleaver here on Amazon. I also ordered some wipes and isopropyl 99.99%.As a DIYer, my fiber optic knowledge was limited to YouTube videos. I tried in earnest to prepare each end of the broken fibers. Unfortunately on my first attempt, when pushing in the prapred ends to the mechanical splice connector they wouldn't go in. Thankfully a close friend of mine (who lives over the other end of the country) reviewed photos of my prepared ends and informed me that I hadn't stripped the fiber completely. Apparently there was one more very fine glass layer to strip, he was right, this allowed me, once i had cleaned and cleaved the ends properly (14mm), to slide the prepared ends into the connector. I plugged in the power meter (that came with the tool kit) into the SC/APC connector, set it to 1550nm and had a db reading of 38.44. This is no good, it wants to read between 20-24db. After wiggling and adjusting the connector slightly the reading dropped to 24db. Hey presto. These mechanical splice connectors work a treat and have been a real life saver.

El conector funciona, he conseguido reparar el cable de mi fibra y no noto pérdida en la velocidad de internet.Ahora, no es un trabajo para personas con poco pulso o paciencia, yo he necesitado muchos intentos y tiempo hasta preparar bien el cable de fibra y que se quede sujeto al poner el pestillo del conector.Si no lo has hecho nunca, mejor revisar algún vídeo en Internet para ver como preparar el cable, no es tan fácil de pelar como uno de cobre. El núcleo es la parte más delicada, y se rompe con facilidad si no se tiene cuidado.Aconsejo comprar o tener a mano unas tenazas para cables de fibra, y alguna forma de poder medir bien la longitud que tiene que tener para introducirlo en el conector. A mí me ha servido con 1,5cm del núcleo limpio para que el cable se quede fijo en el conector, en la bolsita te viene la medida que tiene que tener.

C’è di meglio
