Wear and damage of the connector: too strong or frequent pulling will lead to uneven force of the connector and joint, and seriously affect the connection and reliability of the optical cable.
Optical fiber loss: in the process of extraction, if not operated properly, it may cause the microbending, extrusion and stretching of the optical fiber, leading to the increase of the optical fiber loss.
Cable performance decline: frequent pulling operation will accelerate the aging of optical cable, affecting its overall performance and service life .
Physical damage: excessive pulling force will cause damage to the connector and joint, affecting the physical connection stability of the optical cable.
Optical fiber loss: the extraction process may cause the microbending, extrusion and stretching of the optical fiber, leading to the increase of the optical fiber loss.
Aging acceleration: frequent pulling operation will accelerate the aging process of optical cable, affecting its overall performance and service life .
To sum up, the impact of optical cable pulling force on optical cable is many aspects, including connector wear and damage, optical fiber loss and the overall performance of the optical cable decline. Therefore, in the cable extraction test, must be conducted in strict accordance with the operating procedures, to avoid the cable damage caused by improper operation.
