How many fiber optic closures are needed in a 375 km fiber cable?

Fiber optic cables should always be pulled by the strengthened yarn fibers inside the outer jacket. This strength member can be exposed by removing a small portion of the jacket with a three-hole cable stripper.Feb 8, 2020

have you tried a new cable?

A fiber optic cleaver is a specialized tool used to cleanly and precisely cut optical fiber. This is an important process in fiber optic cable preparation and installation, as it ensures a clean, straight cut that will allow for proper connection of the fiber ends. Fiber optic cleavers vary in design and features, but all share the common goal of providing a clean, precise cut. We offer a wide range of fibre cleavers to suit your needs, from simple single-fibre cleavers to more advanced models capable of cleaving multiple fibres at once. No matter what your budget or requirements are, we're sure to have the perfect cleaver for you.

Are u talking about the fiber optic cable in and out put of the system all u new is to buy a optic cable if u need a converter from optic to RCA here is the site to buy one on amazon Digital Coaxial Optical to Analog RCA Audio Converter Fiber Optic Cable New

If it is loose tube cable, than you can do it in two ways. First using SC SM pigtails, which should be spliced on each fiber (don't forget that you need to protect the splice itself and protect bare fibers puttung them in same cassete or tray or ....) or the other way using "break out system" which will give your bare fibers more protection but the SC connectors can be mounted directly on the fiber in this system. Cheaper and preferable way is the first one.
If it is tight buffered cable there is also two ways of termination. First, directly mount SC connector on a fiber (no need for break out system) or splice SC SM pigtails. Cheaper and preferable way is the first one.
Good luck!

Hi Jess,

Need more info. What is your application, is it a back bone, are there regular drop points etc. For long haul I would assume you are going to use Single Mode, G.655 fibre. depending on the active equipment You could get 80km between re-transmission points. from a practical point of view the cable drum lengths will also play a part. For a 72 core cable loose tube, Nylon Jacket cable a 8km drum is getting fairly large so I would assume that a splice joint would be need at least every 8km.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Jason

use UTP cable to replace a fiber cable

I tried to answer this for you yesterday but FixYa didn't put it through I guess. I'll try again.

That device is a "Industrial Media Converter". It is for converting a 100BASE-TX LAN cable into a 100BASE-F fiber optic cable for long-range networking. (2km) There are two ways to use it.

One:
Get two and convert LAN to fiber, then back to LAN.

Two:
Use it to tap into an existing fiber network, like fiber optic Internet.

For the first case; you will need some "Duplex" "multi-mode" fiber optic cable ($1.10 a meter) and an other one of those devices ($50~$300).

For the second case you will also need some fiber optic cable and you will need a network to tap in to. Of course you will need to clear everything with the company that owns that network before you can do any thing. And that’s assuming that they even use the same system level protocols.

To directly answer your question:

1: Hook the 100BASE-TX LAN port up to a PC, Hub, or a switch.

2: Hook up TWO multi-mode fiber optic cables to the device using CT style connecters. Hook one to the TX and one to the RX connectors on the unit.

3: Run the cable how you see fit.

4: Hook the other end up to the interfacing device. Be it joining it to an other cable in an existing network, or to another of those devices.

Note: The TX cable of one device goes to the RX of the other and visa-versa.

P.S. I also have one exactly like that one that I’m trying to find a use for.

You don't need it, but you probably want it if you have an xbox adapter with a digital/optical connection. They are pretty inexpensive particularly if purchased online. Here is an example:
