In the construction technology of ADSS optical cable erection, the test and acceptance of optical cable is a very important step. The purpose of this step is to detect whether the quality and performance of the optical cable meet the specified standards, so as to ensure the normal operation of the optical cable. Below we will introduce to you how to test and accept optical cables.
First, perform an optical test of the cable. When performing optical testing, professional optical testing equipment is required. Specifically, an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) or an optical power meter can be used to test the optical cable. The focus of the test is to detect the loss, attenuation, reflection, etc. of the optical cable. During the test, attention should be paid to maintaining the accuracy of the test instrument, and the test operation should be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the test instrument.
Next, perform mechanical tests on the cable. When performing mechanical testing, professional testing equipment is required. Specifically, optical cables can be tested with instruments such as tensile testing machines and pressure testing machines. The focus of the test is to detect the mechanical properties of the optical cable such as tensile strength and compressive strength. During the test, it is necessary to perform the test operation in accordance with the instructions of the test instrument, and pay attention to maintaining the accuracy of the test instrument.
Then, an electrical test of the fiber optic cable is performed. When conducting electrical tests, professional testing instruments are required. Specifically, optical cables can be tested with instruments such as cable testers and grounding resistance testers. The focus of the test is to detect the electrical properties of the optical cable, such as insulation resistance, grounding resistance, etc. During the test, it is necessary to perform the test operation in accordance with the instructions of the test instrument, and pay attention to maintaining the accuracy of the test instrument.
Finally, the acceptance of the optical cable is carried out. During acceptance, it is necessary to analyze the test results and compare them with relevant standards. Only when the test results meet the standard requirements can the optical cable be accepted. The focus of acceptance is to check whether the identification and labeling of optical cables are clear, accurate, and consistent with the actual situation. At the same time, it is also necessary to check the appearance of the optical cable, such as damage and peeling on the surface of the optical cable. During acceptance, it is necessary to record and file according to relevant requirements.
In short, in the construction technology of ADSS optical cable erection, the test and acceptance of optical cable is a very important step. Only through adequate testing and acceptance can the quality and performance of the optical cable meet the specified standards to ensure the normal operation of the optical cable.
