Home / How to connect the ends of a communication optical cable

We terminate fiber optic cable two ways - with connectors that can mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear or with splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers. This article will guide you through the necessary tools, materials, and methods on how to connect fiber optic cables effectively. To connect to other devices or equipment, an optical fiber needs to be terminated. High-speed fiber optic networks form the backbone of modern communications systems.

Single-mode optical fiber

In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber, also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light
