A fiber optic connector is a crucial component of the fiber optic cable. It terminates the end of a fiber optic cable and enables quicker connection and disconnection than fiber splicing. However, the delicate nature of fiber optic cables means that connecting and disconnecting them can be fragile and challenging. This is where a fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tool comes into play. It is the best choice for inserting and extracting fiber optic connectors in high-density patch panels, especially the small form factor connectors. Follow this article to understand fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tools.
What is a Fiber Optic Connector Insertion and Extraction Tool?
A fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tool, also known as IET-100 miller pliers, is designed for inserting and extracting fiber optic connectors or copper connectors in ultra-high-density environments. The unique jaw of the tool can easily navigate tight spaces and grasp connectors firmly without damaging them or touching any surrounding connectors. This tool is compatible with LC, SC, MU, MT-RJ, RJ45, and other connectors.
What are the Benefits of Fiber Optic Connector Insertion and Extraction Tool?
A fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tool can reach into very tight spaces and is truly the perfect tool for working with fiber or copper connectors in high-density locations. This tool is designed for easily and safely inserting and extracting fiber optic or copper connectors in high-density environments. In addition, it provides a bent nose jaw, rubber-protected jaw, and non-slip and ergonomic handle design. A bent nose jaw ensures positive gripping without slipping. Rubber-protected jaw grips connectors without damaging them. Non-slip and ergonomic handles ensure a secure grip and provide easy operation. It is suitable for LC/SC/MU/MT-RJ/RJ45 connectors.
Applications
A fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tool is used in field installations, data centers, FTTH/FTTA networks, fiber optic patch panels, LC/SC/MU/MT-RJ/RJ-45 connectors, etc.
How to Use Fiber Optic Connector Insertion and Extraction Tool?
Below is a simple example of using a fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tool.
Insertion Instructions
1) Position the connector in the tool. Depress the connector lock tab with the bent tooltip.
2) Locate the connector on the panel and squeeze the tool handles to disengage the tooltips.
3) Grasp the connector body with tooltips and gently push to ensure the lock tab is engaged.
4) LC simplex connector on LC panel.
Extraction Instructions
(1) LC duplex connector on LC panel.
(2) Squeeze tool handles and position the bent tool tip at connector lock tabs.
(3) Release the tool handle and disengage the connector lock tabs from the panel.
(4) Extract connector.
Conclusion
A fiber optic connector insertion and extraction tool is the best connector tool for fiber optic and copper installers. It has a spring-loaded, non-slip, ergonomic handle design that provides easy operation and durability.
