This study deals with the heat cycle characteristics of sleeve connector of aluminum stranded conductors steel reinforced(ACSR). In order to investigate the effect of heat cycle on the sleeve connector of stranded conductor, experimental study has been performed for both the temperature rising and electrical resistance of sleeve connector. Also, the effect of changes in surrounding temperature on the allowable current of sleeve connector was studied in order to investigate the influence on the connector size of conductor. Under the given test conditions of heat cycle, the temperature rising s decreased with the increase of sleeve size of conductor. The deviation of resistance of sleeve connector in conductor decreased with the increase in the size of sleeve connector.

This paper is to investigate the influence of the endface quality on the loss characteristics of a plastic optical fiber(POF) connector and the stability of new designed sleeve for in-car network service. Using the parameters of the surface roughness and applied load, insertion loss of connector is measured. Endface condition for optimizing the connection is presented by the surface roughness satisfying loss criteria and the stress for minimizing the loss, $R_{rms}=8nm$ and 19 MPa, respectively. By vibration test and dynamic loss measurement, we show the stability of the new designed sleeve.
