Background information: The use of plastic fiber optics for data transmission in noisy environments is a reliable, economical and easy to install technology which is suitable for distances up to 100 meters.
For short runs it is generally sufficient to trim the plastic fiber optic cable using simple tools such as a sharp knife. In these cases the additional attenuation caused by a less than ideal cut is uncritical for the stability of the data transmission: The light intensity at the receiving location is almost always sufficient for a reliable connection regardless of cut-related losses
But when you begin to approach the maximum permissible distance, the cut quality is important in terms of the achievable distance and the stability of the connection, and can determine whether a connection is feasible or not: A perfect cut can give you up to an additional 20 meters of distance in borderline conditions.
The decisive criterion for the quality of the cut is a flat cut at right angles to the cable axis, so that as little light as possible is lost through scatter or reflection. Such cuts can be achieved using the Wiesemann & Theis cutting tool, without requiring additional grinding or polishing of the cut surface.
Caution: The tool is not suitable for trimming glass fiber optic cables. Any attempt to cut glass fiber media using the tool will damage the cutting element.
To help you evaluate the cutting quality, we will gladly send you on request a section of fiber optic cable which has been trimmed using the cutting tool.
