A tube-shaped connector with two crimps for splicing wires in-line is called a butt splice connector. Single-wire crimp terminals include: Blade or quick disconnect (e.g., Faston or Lucar) Bullet (e.g. Shur-Plug) Butt splice; Flag tongue; Rectangular tongue; Hook tongue; Spade tongue (flanged, short spring, long spring) Ring tongue (slotted ...
For hoses and piping, a quick connect fitting, also called a push fitting, is a coupling used to provide a fast, make-or-break connection of gas or liquid transfer lines. Operated by hand, quick connect fittings replace threaded or flanged connections, which require wrenches. When equipped with self-sealing valves, quick connect fittings will ...
The splice cassette is removable in order to assemble fiber optics with a splice unit. The front panel can also be removed to splice the fibers to various connectors. Since modern splice cassettes already contain a splice tray, a splice holder, couplings and pigtails, the installation of the cables is
To isolate the splice, an insulating sleeve made of paper or plastic is pushed over it. The splicing of copper wires is mainly used on paper insulated wires. LSA techniques (LSA: soldering, screwing and stripping free) are used to connect copper wires, making the copper wires faster and easier to connect. LSA techniques include:
Optical fiber connectors are used to join optical fibers where a connect/disconnect capability is required. Due to the polishing and tuning procedures that may be incorporated into optical connector manufacturing, connectors are often assembled onto optical fiber in a supplier's manufacturing facility.
A push-in compression coupling and tee.. Push-to-pull, push-to-connect, push-in, push-fit, or instant fittings are a type of easily removed compression fitting or quick connect fitting that allows an air (or water) line to be attached, nominally without the use of tools (a tool is still usually required for cutting tubing to length and removal).
A mobile fiber optic splice lab used to access and splice underground cables An underground fiber optic splice enclosure opened up. The choice between optical fiber and electrical (or copper) transmission for a particular system is made based on a number of trade-offs.
A mechanical splice is a junction of two or more optical fibers that are aligned and held in place by a self-contained assembly (usually the size of a large carpenter's nail). [1] The fibers are not permanently joined, just precisely held together so that light can pass from one to another.
