The continuous updating of several optical communication technologies has driven the large-scale development of optical fiber to the home, thus promoting the continuous expansion of the market scale of optical fiber fast connectors. In the process of optical fiber wiring, there are generally two kinds of optical fiber continuation methods, one is optical fiber hot melting, and the other is using fast connectors for continuation. So, what is the difference between optical fiber quick connector and cold connector?

 Meaning of optical fiber quick connector and cold connector
1. Optical fiber quick connector
Optical fiber movable connector, commonly known as movable joint and generally known as optical fiber connector, is a reusable passive device used to connect two optical fibers or optical cables to form a continuous optical path. It has been widely used in optical fiber transmission lines, optical fiber distribution frames and optical fiber test instruments and meters. It is the optical passive device with the largest number of users at present.
2. Cold junction
For optical fiber butt joint or optical fiber butt joint pigtail, this is equivalent to making a joint (optical fiber butt joint pigtail refers to the butt joint between the optical fiber and the core of the pigtail rather than the pigtail head of the former). The thing used for this kind of cold connection is called optical fiber cold connector.

What is the difference between optical fiber quick connector and cold connector
The optical fiber cold connector has the same structural principle as the embedded optical fiber connector. It is a sub product of the optical fiber quick connector. Because its shape is similar to the quick connector, many people are confused about the two.
The main difference between the cold connector and the optical fiber quick connector is that it has no movable plug. When the optical fiber is connected with the optical fiber or the optical fiber is connected with the pigtail, it is used for direct and fixed connection at the optical link node, and the contact loss is about 0.1db-0.2db. It is mainly used for indoor wiring or wiring in narrow space, and the installation is more convenient and flexible.

How to install and use optical fiber quick connector
Step 1: remove the connector tail cover and pass the cable through it;
Step 2: peel off the cable skin with optical fiber stripping pliers, with a length of about 5cm;
Step 3: close the Miller clamp to the edge of the clamp, cut off the exposed coating layer and expose the optical fiber;
Step 4: wipe and clean the bare optical fiber with a dust-proof cloth;
Step 5: cut the optical fiber with a clamp;
Step 6: align the optical fiber with the main hole slot and insert it. When the optical fiber is initially bent, press the crimping cover down;
Step 7: screw the tail cover on the string cable back to the connector body and fasten the shell.
The installation of optical fiber quick connector is very simple, but it should be noted that the optical fiber quick connector is very vulnerable to pollution and damage, resulting in damage to the performance of optical fiber. During the installation process, keep away from dust and pollutants, and insert slowly.

 What are the methods of optical fiber cold connector
First, cut the steel wire in the leather cable by about 20cm with diagonal pliers
Pull out the skinned cable with the optical cable stripper to expose the optical fiber. Pay attention to the length.
Put it into the guide groove, pull the guide groove back 3.5cm, and peel off the plastic on the fiber surface with Miller wire to expose the bare fiber.

Put on the cold terminal and press the yellow part forward.

The above is all about the difference between the optical fiber quick connector and the cold connector we brought to you. I believe you have an answer to this question here. Finally, please remember not to let the glass stick when using the optical fiber cold connector.
