Common Fibre Optical Cabling Faults

Detailed below are some common optical fibre scenarios our fibre repair specialists see on a daily basis
Damaged patch leads
Fibre optic patch leads can often get damaged within tight unmanaged patch cabinets.
The most common cause is patch leads being trapped within the cabinet door.
We advise network managers to keep spare patch leads and always replace patch leads as the first point when fault finding.

Handy hint
Use an LED torch to check patch lead continuity.

Faulty media converters
Occasionally media convertors or Gbic cards fail causing the fibre circuit to fail.
PSP keep a good stock of both multimode and single mode media converters that will get you up and running until your own hardware can be replaced.

Badly installed fibre patch panels
If a fibre cable is not fixed securely within the gland of the patch panel the fibre can be pulled or snagged and broken when other work is being carried out within the communications cabinet.

Broken fibres further down the run
There are many reasons why fibre gets damaged along its route.

The usual reasons are due to cables being dug up during excavation works, pulled down from overhead by high sided vehicles or rodent damage.

Using optimum time domain reflectometer (OTDR) technology PSP can pinpoint a fibre breakage within 1.8 metres of the break.

When the breakage has been identified we can field joint the cable using portable fusion splice equipment ensuring minimal db loss. This means that when we re test the fibre it will still meet the industry standards and the fibre bandwidth will not be compromised.
