ODN, or Optical Distribution Network, is an FTTH network based on PON equipment that provides an optical transmission channel between the OLT and the ONU. It directly. There are two major current PON standards: Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) and Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON). But no matter which type of PONs, they have a same basic topology structure.
After fiber optic cables enter the fiber optic terminal boxes, the boxes should be connect to the ground so they can rapidly release the lightning current to realize the protection when the lightning current enter the fiber optic cables' metal layers. The major purpose of lightning protection systems is to conduct the high current lightning discharges safely into the Earth/ground. Since the lightning. Lightning Protection for Direct-Buried Fiber Optic Cables Station Grounding Method: the metal part of the cables in the joints should be all connected to make sure the strengthened cores, moistureproof layers, and armoured layers are in connected state in the relay cable lines. These solutions use two ways of grounding for optical cable links both in domestic and foreign standards.

Here are the steps to remove the cap: Step 1: Hold the optical cable firmly but gently to avoid any bending. Step 3: Apply a slight twisting motion as you pull, ensuring even pressure. However, if the cap is too tight to pull using your finger, you can use a pair of soft-tipped tweezers to remove it gently. Below is how to clean fiber optic cables using the dry cleaning method. To begin, remove the dust cap and insert the click-clean pen or apply the CLETOP-S to the head of the cable. Should pop right off if it's a decent connector.
