For non-permanent connections between patch panels, transmission equipment etc. patch cables are used. Already installed cables often terminated with pigtails by using fusion splices, pigtails and patch cables are pre-assembled with connectors. Apart from pigtails and patch cables, there are also multifiber cables available in factory pre-assembled form such as MPC and MIC (Multifiber Indoor Cable) cables. Pre-assembled cables allow for the implementation of complete “plug & play” solutions. When such a solution is adopted with accurate dimensioning and appropriate cable routing, it is possible to install even large cabling systems rapidly. A further advantage is that it eliminates the need for splicing. The “plug & play” approach is particularly suitable for cabling clean and ultra-clean rooms.
Connector performance
Controlling connector end-face geometry is key to assuring network reliability. Radius of curvature, apex offset and fiber undercut are the three critical parameters that affect long term connector performance. These parameters are closely monitored and controlled throughout automated process, thus assuring the highest quality in each and every connector assembly
