2.1. The UJ connector of submarine optical fiber cable
UJ is a technique of using a set of general equipment,instrument and
standardized module to install and maintain all types of submarine optical
fiber cable in submarine communication system.UJ contains different
structural connection in the same manufacturer of submarine optical fiber
cable,such as the connection between SA cable and DA cable in the Nanhai
Sea's observational network of ZTT Group.Also,it can be suit for different
manufacturers in the connection of submarine optical fiber cable.
In LW-LW, for example, a complete UJ, usually consists of three parts, as
shown in Figure 5, which are: ESK (END SPECIFIC KIT) for the cable
end processing, to withhold which is steel wire armored inside, and to
protect the fiber unit. CC (COMMON COMPONENT) is a general
