TOSLINE-S20 Active Star Coupler (ASC25) Instruction Manual 6F3B0360 For connecting an optical connector and an optical fiber, align the key seats, and insert the connector until "click" sound is generated. Since the optical fiber has only 200 m in diameter, accurate insertion is necessary to avoid increase in connection loss. To the optical transmission/receiving sections of the connector not in use, a black cap shall be applied to avoid incoming ambient natural lights.
Method of F07optical connector assembly Assembly work of optical connector shall conform to the following-given steps. For detail, refer to the instruction manual attached to the assembly tools. Precautions of optical connector assembly work On assembling an optical connector, observe the following-listed precautions.

TOSLINE-S20 Active Star Coupler (ASC25) Instruction Manual 6F3B0360 Fold the tension member, and insert the collar through the jacket of optical fiber core wire until the collar went under the cord housing. The collar shall be exposed from the edge of housing removal by 1 mm or less.
Page 35
Caution To remove the core cover (0.5 mm in diameter, semi-transparent), if the knife edge of jacket remover is damaged or if mal-manipulation of the knife is occurred, the clad (0.23 mm in diameter, transparent) of the optical fiber may be damaged (becoming cloudy in the surface). The clad of H-PCF optical fiber is an important section that protects the Silica glass core and that assures high strength and high reliability of the optical fiber.

The transmission loss in the transmission line is the sum of the transmission loss across the optical fiber and the connection loss of aligner. Comparison with level diagram Comparing with the level diagram which was prepared during design stage, if the transmission loss of the transmission line is abnormally large, the portion structuring the transmission line should be abnormal.
