Fiber Optic cable termination is the addition of connectors to each optical fiber in a cable. Optical fiber cabling systems support various communications technologies that use digital as well as analog signaling. Think of it as the equivalent of connecting the dots in a complex puzzle; without proper termination, the whole system can break down. Over the history of fiber optics, there have been over 100 different types of fiber optic connectors designed using at least a dozen ways of attaching the connector to. Proper fiber optic termination is a crucial process for ensuring the reliability, performance, and long-term durability of any fiber optic network.
