How Should I Terminate My Fiber Optic Cable

In today’s day and age, we are more connected than ever. And we expect it.

 

At the work place we are attending virtual trainings on the latest technologies and we are connecting across the globe with our colleagues in real-time meetings – with just the click of a button.

 

When we leave work, we are going home using app-based scooters and bicycles that only needs the swipe of a cell phone. And if taking a highway home, you no longer search for change at a toll booth but instead you drive through a toll lane that scans and charges your account as you drive underneath it.

 

And it doesn’t stop at home. We are answering emails, while streaming Ultra HD video on our smart TV’s, all while having the latest super hero flick downloading on our tablet to watch on an upcoming business trip.

 

With the ever-increasing demand for the bandwidth needed to meet today’s expectations; how we design, install, and maintain our fiber optic networks must evolve with that same demand. In particular, the methods used to terminate, or connect, the ends of our fiber optic networks has evolved in the past 20 years quite drastically; starting with hand-polishing a ferrule with films and epoxies to achieve a finished termination. Hand epoxy polishing gave you a good, epoxy-cured connection but can be time consuming, and it took certain skill sets to achieve a good ferrule polish. Epoxy terminations lead to Mechanical Terminations which is the mechanical mating of fibers with the use of specific hand tools, v-groove alignment, and index matching gel to bridge the air gap between fibers. The benefits of using a factory-polished ferrule and the mechanical termination offered a time saving from traditional hand-polishing and allowed even some of the most novice of technicians the ability of putting a quality connector on in the field. As optical fusion splice machines and fusion splicing technology improved, technicians can now fusion splice a pigtail, a length of cable factory terminated on a single end, to a field cable that has been newly pulled or an old cable that needs to be repaired.

 

More importantly than any convenience of use though, is the performance of the termination. To enjoy some of the luxuries of connectivity mentioned before, we need a stronger optical signal to go farther than ever. Insertion Loss (IL) is a measurement of the optical power that is lost through a mated pair in decibels (dB). To compare the performance in IL of the three main termination methods, hand epoxy can typically range from .20dB - .75dB depending on installer. A typical mechanical style termination IL is 0.50dB, with loss accumulating from both the air gap of a mated pair, and the alignment of the fiber stub to your field fiber. Fusion splicing a pigtail or connector, is going to give your lowest loss of light through termination. Average fusion splice termination IL is .02dB - .05dB of loss through the splice, for a total of typical .20dB IL from your termination. By fusion splicing a connector in your network you are performing that much better in regards of your signal getting from source to receive.

 

Another important factor of your termination is how much light it reflects, you do not want your termination to be reflective. Reflectance is measured by how much light (dB) is returned back up the link, and the lower the number (farthest from 0) the better. The ferrule of your termination is the main factor in reflectance, and is categorized in 3 main stages: Physical Contact (PC), Ultra Physical Contact (UPC), and Angled Physical contact (APC). To throw a lot of numbers and letters around, PC polish typically has a reflectance of -30dB, UPC polish typical -40dB, and APC polish -65dB or better. Remember, the lower the number the least amount of reflection, so APC being -65dB is premium performance for optical termination because it returns the least amount of light per termination. Hand polishing connector does rely on skill, an experienced technician will be able to give you the best results but it still can be an imperfect science. Mechanical connectors allowed anybody to be able to put on a connector with the use of specific tools and simple termination procedures, but because of the reflectance of the matching gel, along with the mating of the ferrules, you will achieve around the -40dB referenced above. By being able to fusion splice a factory terminated pigtail to a field fiber, you achieve maximum performance of the ferrule polish due to the low reflectance fusion splice technology. A -65dB return loss on an APC termination is possible because a typical core alignment fusion splice is actually considered a non-reflective event. As we bring fiber closer and closer to the home, with lab environment transmission of 400gB of data over fiber, we can’t afford the return of light that our networks of days past allowed us.

 

With fusion splicing becoming the termination method of choice for performance, it’s now about installation and how we can make it easier. Pigtail splicing while practical, can be cumbersome with cable management and could require more rack space for that management. You prep your field fiber, you prep your pigtail, you splice them together and manage the slack, and you have a high performing termination.

 

The industry is now seeing Splice on Connectors as a popular choice of termination vs traditional pigtails because of the cost, space, and time savings they offer. Now you can use a factory terminated connector that can be spliced right at the end of your trunk cable, allowing a time savings in cable prep, a space saving without the excess length of traditional pigtails, and still giving your connection an Insertion Loss as low as .20dB, and a minimal return loss as low as -65dB. Splice on Connectors can arguably be your lowest cost, easiest to install, and best performing termination method.

 

In conclusion, I want to say that I am writing on my laptop while streaming a basketball game, my wife is streaming her reality TV while scrolling home improvement blogs on her phone, and our demand for bandwidth isn’t slowing down. As our use of technology evolves, so must our data networks. And in terms of how we terminate our fibers, the practice of using splice on connectors has us all trending in the right direction.

How to Take Care Joy Love Dolls Realistic Sex Doll?

When you own a sexdollrealistic.com, chances are that you would be using it a lot. It’s an investment on your part and needs care as you would for a pet.

The most frequent question is “How do I clean my love doll after use?” For this question, we have collected all you need to know in this detailed guide. While taking care of your sex doll it will extend their lifespan for many years, keeping her fresh, clean and sexy and keep her attractive for future pleasure.

Just a reminder that you need to keep it clean and in hygienic condition for consistent use and need to store it properly to keep safe from pollutants and contaminants. We have conjured some useful sex doll care and storage tips for you here.

Cleaning your doll is easy and it takes only minutes if you have the right tools and techniques. It is actually so easy that sex doll brothels use the same love dolls and they can sanitize the doll for the next customer in no time. Those have become popular as sex dolls help for anxiety and loneliness. Here is how we recommend doing it with safety and ease.

Quick Guide Cleaning Your Sex Doll:
1. You should always clean your doll after any usage or contact with bodily fluid. This is easiest done in the shower or bath with warm water and light soap.  We recommend keeping your doll's head above water level when taking a bath and cleaning it separately.  When showering your doll keep the head upright position.

2. After washing your love doll, dry thoroughly with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Avoid using too much force and scrubbing back and forth but dry her with a soft pushing move with the towel. Do not use a blow dryer as too hot air can sometimes damage the TPE material made skin.

3. For more delicate care we recommend you can apply baby powder to remove any remaining moisture and keep her skin nice and soft.

4. If you put makeup on her, that can be removed with damp of laundry detergent or mild soap with warm water. You can use a paper towel or dry cloth to pat her face dry.

5. The wigs should be washed separately with a mild shampoo, and let them air dry, if you use a blow dryer you risk damaging the hair and pubic hair.

6. When you buy your doll at Joy Love Dolls you will get some of the most durable and long-lasting dolls on the market. However, we still recommend you take care when moving your doll to avoid any unnecessary bumps, scrapes, or drops.

7. We recommend storing your doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold.

These are the main recommendations for taking care of your TPE Sex Doll.

Following More Detailed Guide will tell you exactly what to do and what to not do with your doll to ensure its maximal lifespan.

More Thorough and Detailed Guide for Taking Care of Your Life Like Sex Doll

TPE Sex Doll Skin Care and Lubricants
Always use water-based lube while having sex with your life-size sex doll. It will help in better vaginal, anal and oral penetration without fear of damaging the doll.

If your love doll’s skin becomes tacky to touch, clean her with a good quality renewal powder to make her skin velvety smooth again. Read more about what is the difference between TPE Sex Doll and Silicone Love Doll.

Bathing Your Love Doll
While bathing your realistic sex doll with a mild soap, never allow her head and neck to submerge deep into the water. Use a soft fabric towel to cleanse and dry her skin. Use of hair dryer is not advised as it can make her skin tough and also degrade the quality.

Bath your doll after a month’s gap using a mild antimicrobial soap.

Cleaning of Vagina, Anus, and Mouth of a Lifelike Sex Doll
Vaginal Irrigator
A “vaginal irrigator” or enema bulb is the right tool for washing your doll vagina thoroughly. The right way to use this irrigator is to fill it with soap and water then use it softly to flush out and clean your doll's vagina from inside. Please do this right after use of your doll to ensure the ease and the best results. We recommend doing the initial flushing with cold water then switch to warm water and mild soap to sanitize. Check here how the sex doll vaginas look like.

Vaginal irrigators or bulbs are very inexpensive and easy to use. We recommend doing this cleaning operation in a shower room where you can let the water run out of her without making a mess. Vaginal irrigators are the best tool for cleaning your sex doll after use.

Luffa on a Stick
If you want to make one extra step cleaning your love dolls inners parts, we recommend a Luffa on a stick.  Luffa helps you to gently scrub inside of your doll’s vagina, anus, and mouth. This is especially helpful if you haven’t been so careful in the first place and over time some fluids have left inside of your doll. Soft scrubbing will help you remove any residue left inside. Be careful not to stick it too hard to the bottom or with any metalcore on the luffa. That might damage your doll penetrating holes. Overtime any residue may begin to smell or compromise the material of your doll so it is important to take good care in the cleansing.

Handheld Shower Head
A handheld showerhead is also a clever option to make it easier clean your real like sex doll. These handheld showerheads allow you to position the stream of water straight inside the penetration holes (but always softly) and clean out the inner parts effectively. If possible us adjustable stream settings so that you can turn it up to high pressure but thicker stream setting.  With enough pressure and right angle for the stream, you’ll be able to quickly flush out your doll in seconds.



Squirt Water Bottle
Last but not least for cleaning your dolls inner parts, any water bottle with a squirting mouthpiece can be used for making a stream of water purged to the vaginal to remove all body fluids similarly as a vaginal irrigator. Simply follow the guides for the vaginal irrigator above.

To Summarize Vaginal Cleaning
Clean your sex doll’s vagina, anus, and mouth after use to prevent the growth of bacteria as TPE material is porous and bacteria can stay in it.

Start by flushing the orifices with mild antimicrobial soap using an irrigator or shower head. Rinse the canals with a vaginal irrigator to ensure deep cleansing. Wipe the canal with a dry clean towel using your fingers, and be very gentle while doing so.

Once your doll is dried, apply renewal power inside and out to keep its subtle, soft and velvety touch alive.

Care for Removable Vagina
Apply renewal powder on the outside of the replaceable vagina and inside of the doll before inserting the replaceable vagina.

Follow the above-mentioned cleaning tips to clean the removable vagina of your love doll. The same guides apply to clean both fixed and removable vagina inside.

Skeleton Care of Your Joy Love Doll
Your realistic sex doll has fixed and moveable joints to provide her more flexibility and multiple positions for sex. It’s quite normal for your love doll to have some modification traces and marks at these parts.

Do not leave the arms and legs of your love doll widely spread for a longer period than needed as the stress may cause tearing. Always bring your doll back to her stress-free position with arms down and legs closed when you are not using her.
Take care not to drop her, knock her on surfaces or drag on the floor as it will bring down her quality and lifespan.
Do not spread her limbs too much and do not apply extreme force on her to prevent damage to her skeleton and skin.
Your doll has enhanced wrists to support her own weight; nevertheless, it is advisable to provide her support by placing pillows or furniture beneath her torso when engaging in doggy style sex with her.
Do not leave her in a bent position for long to prevent body deformation.
Do not leave her standing for long as this may damage her stance.
Like humans, real-life sex dolls can make and hold multiple positions but if you keep the weight too long for small areas or few joints like wrists, it does not make good. The skeleton structure is bendable and flexible but for longer periods always remember to “pack” your doll to safeguard positions limbs collected close to its body and weight distributed to larger areas and back or with a proper hanging hook with always feet on the ground. More about the hanging hooks later in this guide.

Sex Doll Clothing Care
Do not put oil soluble clothing and pigments on your sex doll.

Your doll’s clothing should be color transfer resistant. Avoid darker color clothing as it may bleed and cause discoloration.  Stain cleaner may be used to remove most stains.

Keep your doll away from inks, paints, dark-colored material, newspapers and magazines with colored prints as these items may stain her.

Dust the doll’s skin and clothes with renewal powder.

Dust off the remnants to bring back the subtle softness of her skin.

Wig and Hair Care
Remove the wig from her head and clean it with a mild shampoo and conditioner. Let it dry of its own, gently comb it from the bottom up and then put it again on her head. More about taking care of sex doll wigs here.

Realistic Love Doll Hooks and Storing
Proper storage of your sex doll is very important for keeping her in the best condition to perform with you, and also for keeping her usable for long without early wear and tear. So, here we have come up with some useful storage tips for your lovely sex doll.

Cover your doll with a protective soft cloth blanket.
Avoid dark or black color clothes as it may stain her.
Do not hang your doll from the neck freely as the stress and strain may cause deformation over a period of time.

Make sure that your sex doll’s feet are on the floor when you store her vertically. This will help in distributing the forces evenly across your doll’s body, and prevent deformation of her skeleton.

Use 100% natural cotton muslin dust bags to envelop your sex doll, protecting her from dust and dirt, a and also providing a degree of privacy to her.

Different type of hooks, bolts and chains are available to adjust your doll to hang. You can find them at our “Hooks and Storing” section or just ask us to provide to you with your new sex doll and we pick you suitable options.

Use closet bar suspension to keep your doll from structural failures. These closets include protection for your doll’s body to securely suspend her without anything pressing against her soft TPE skin.

If you do not have closet space, we can provide you strong and sturdy hanging rack constructed with heavy-weight plumbing pipe in a gorgeous finish. It also comes with room for her clothing or storing an additional doll.

Why Are Businesses Switching to Fiber Optic Cables?

Many businesses, especially those which depend on high data usage and transmission, have been switching their cabling over to fiber optic cables as they realize all the benefits provided by fiber optic technology. Apart from the nature of business and its built-in appetite for data, another reason for this trend is due to the increasing demands placed on companies undergoing growth – which naturally elevates the demand for data usage as well. Here are some of the benefits offered by fiber optic cables which make them so appealing.

 

5 Reasons Why Businesses are Making the Switch to Fiber Optic Cables

Overall cost

 

There might be a slightly higher initial cost associated with installing fiber optic cables, but in the long run, the investment pays off in spades. Because it is more durable, more functional, and requires less ongoing maintenance, fiber optics can end up being the most cost-effective approach for many companies.

 

Physical size

 

Performance of fiber optic cables has nothing to do with their size, unlike the case with copper-based cables. To increase speed and bandwidth on a copper line, more copper must be included, which means the physical size of the cable grows, leading to increased costs for transportation and installation.

 

Dependability

 

Copper wiring is subject to degraded performance or damage when exposed to wet weather or other wet conditions. Since there is no electricity being transmitted through fiber optic cables, there is no hazard created if they should be exposed to severe weather conditions.

 

Security

 

It is much more difficult and costly for hackers to attempt a breach of fiber optic cabling, which is why it has been subjected to far fewer attacks than other forms of cabling. With the number and the severity of cyber attacks constantly on the rise, it makes sense to consider every aspect of security for your data center.

 

Performance

 

Voice communication has always been the primary usage for copper wiring, and even though it has been adapted for data usage as well, it is limited in terms of its capabilities for speed and bandwidth. Fiber optics have no such constraints, and have already provided unprecedented rates in both categories.

 

Where to Find Fiber Optic Cabling and Fiber Optic Tool Box

Ease of use can be a big appeal when it’s time to install fiber optic cabling. A fiber optic tool box has all the tools needed for fiber optic cable installation, making it an easy process.

The Definition of ‘mode’ as in multimode refers to the transmitting mode of the fiber optic light in the fiber optic cable core.

Fujikura Fusion Splicer Solutions

Fiber optic cables provide a reliable and fast method of data transfer. However, it’s simply impossible to make a single fiber long enough to match the length of cable necessary for most networks. This is where fiber fusion splicing comes into play, which is a technique of making fiber joints by fusing fiber ends together, forming a single long fiber. Fusion splicing is a permanent, low-loss, high-strength joint, Fusion splicing your fiber optic cables by using a fusion splicer will give you the length you need.

The principle of fusion splicing is that the two bare fiber ends (coatings removed with a fiber cleaver) are fused together under the influence of heat. More precisely, the fiber ends are initially brought in close contact, with a small gap in between. After heating them for a short while such that the surfaces melt, they are pushed together, such that the ends fuse together.

Fusion splicer is needed during Fusion splicing. It is a high precision piece of optical equipment used to fuse, or melt, fiber optic strand ends together. Fiber Splices can be required at building entrances, wiring closets, couplers, and between a transmitter and receiver.

 

There are several types of fusion splicers available on the market, varying in features and capability, and of course cost. They are manufactured by companies such as Fujikura, Siecor, Sumitomo, Ericsson and Fitel.

 

Full-Featured – Includes machines that are fully automatic, provide extremely low splice losses by aligning the cores of the fibers, and have plenty of special features to make splicing as easy as possible.

 

Mass – Includes machines that can splice ribbon fibers from 2-24 fibers. Also splice single fiber.

 

Arc fusion splicer can splice single fibers or 4, 8, 12 and 24 fiber count ribbon fibers at the same time. The small size of the fusion splice and the development of automated fusion splicer machines have made electric arc fusion one of the most popular splicing techniques in commercial applications. The fusion splicers offer sophisticated, computer controlled alignment of Fiber Optic cables to achieve loss as low as 0.02 dB.

 

Micro – Includes machines that are very portable, yet still maintain many of the features of the full-featured machines. Still fully automatic. Micro splicers typically use Fixed V-groove technology for fiber alignment.

Manual – Includes machines that are not automatic. Require more user skill, but are the least expensive available.
