Quick connector

Splice-on connector for FTTH(Existing)

Patch code for FTTH

Purpose of SOCM & SOC development

To fix problems that occur at the field

Existing problems SOCM & SOC

- Degradation of high-speed service quality

- High rate of A/S

- Difficulty of home entry - Unsuitable termination work

and unfitting in appearance

- High price of fusion connector - High price of fusion splicer - Inconvenient to use, and takes long time to work

- High quality of service - Rare rate of A/S

- Easiness of home entry - No problem with termination work

- Low price - Simplified to use

Summary of SOCM & SOC usage

4

1. Maintain A/S rate below 1% - Possible to use optical connector semi-permanently - Decrease in defective proportion of field-assembly optical connector from rate 20% → to below 1%

2. Decrease in loss rate(improves more than 5 times of the quality)

3. Drop cable reuse Uses drop-cable connector

4. Simplified in RN Splitter secondary expansion

Quick connector THOR’s SOC

Insert loss - 0.5dB ▲ - 0.1dB ▼

Reflection loss - 40dB ▼ - 60dB ▲

• Falling internet speed • IPTV screen cracking • IPTV delay • Interruption of internet call

• Falling internet speed • IPTV screen cracking • IPTV delay • interruption of internet call

Analysis of current problem at FTTH field : 1. Current condition of FTTH A/S occurrence and the cause

Fault of FTTH internet service member’s opening & main cause of A/S occurrence

More than 60% of the problem is caused by field-assembly optical connector Main causes of field-assembly optical connector’s problem - Connector being defective

itself(inner fiber) - Fault in assembling - Bent of optical fiber line when

using - Fall out of cable while using

React : Replacement of field-assembly connector

Matching GEL

Fiber Clipping

Main cause of A/S after opening an internet

Analysis of current problem at FTTH field : 2. Pros and Cons of quick connector for FTTH

Strength • Simple to assembly

• Does not require additional tools (Require optical-cleaver)

• Very low price

Weakness • Impossible to check cleaved surface of

the optical-fiber

• High-loss of the connector itself

• Solidification/volatilization of a matching gel

• Tension of the fiber being low when clipping

8

Strength • Does not need additional assembling

work done at field

• Does not require additional tools

• Very low price

Weakness • Inconvenient in entry of window or a

cable duct

• As it is not manufactured by accurate length as needed, always leaves extra optical cables

Analysis of current problem at FTTH field : 3. Pros and Cons of patch code for FTTH

9

Strength • Maintain low loss

• Does not leave leftover in lengths

• Less than 1% possibility of occurring A/S of assembling completed optical connector

Weakness • Requires high-price fusion splicer

• Inconvenience of connector assembling - Requires heating process after splicing, to

protect the splice point - Not able to protect optical fiber even after using larger sleeve and cannot directly protect 3mm optical cable

Unsuitable in using FTTH optical connector

Analysis of current problem at FTTH field : 4. Pros and Cons of other splice-on connector for FTTH

Protection cap

SC Frame

Protection sleeve

(silicon tape)

Wing sleeve

(quick protection method)

• Secure convenience by using quick-protection method (NO Heating sleeve, No heater)

- Both-sided tape type of silicon sleeve applied

- Wing type sleeve is applied to protect the splice point when it is folded by one-touch action

=> quick protection sleeve • Provided in a disposal holder (Does not

need connector head to be equipped)

Specification

- Time required for assembling

: 30 sec

- Rate of splicing error

: < 1%

- Insert loss : < 0.1dB

- Reflect loss : > 60dB Provided as installed on holder

Our Product : 1. Splice-On Connector (SOC)

• Direct-splicing to the drop cable is possible

- Fusion splicing by using the drop cable holder

- Protecting spliced point by using wing-type sleeve

=> Quick protection sleeve

• Secondary protection of splicing sleeve by using the splicing point protection enclosure

- 5cm miniature protection enclosure - Sealing intensity : 20N (for indoor) 100N(for outdoor) - Waterproof

A/S connector set for the cable expansion at internet member’s home

FTTH cable-expanding SOC set

FBG Filter is included in SOC

- FBG filter is built-in inside the inner optic fiber of the splice-on connector

- Reflect/blocks wavelength from OTDR

- Able to use optic observation function without an additional filter

Based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology Passes communications wavelength 1310nm/1550nm Blocks measuring wavelength 1620~1650nm Splice-On connector has built in block/pass filter of an optic fiber, so it does not require an additional reflection filter

Blocking quality 90% Passing 1310/1550nm quality 95%

Our Product : 4. FBG filter built-in SOC
