Handling Equipment
Periodical Maintenance
Fiber-optic cable connectors need periodical care and maintenance. Unless the
equipment is installed in a hermetic environment, dust particles will eventually collect
within the fiber-optic connections. Over time, this can cause signal degradation. Dirty
fiber-optic connectors are a common source of light loss, especially for 9 µm core single-
mode fibers. As a general rule, whenever there is a significant, unexplained loss of light,
check the connectors.
