Contamination is the #1 reason for troubleshooting optical networks. Visual inspection is the only way to determine if fiber connectors are truly clean.
Implementing a simple yet important process of proactively inspecting and cleaning before mating can prevent poor signal performance and equipment damage.
Proactively inspecting fiber optic connectors will reduce Aircraft On Ground (AOG) Instances, troubleshooting, and damage.
Simplex connectors contain a single fiber in a ceramic zirconia ferrule, aligned by a mating sleeve within a bulkhead adapter.
ARINC 801 connectors are used in aerospace, utilizing a 1.25 mm ferrule and a pin and socket configuration.
Defines Plug, Receptacle, Pin, and Socket in the context of ARINC 801 connections.
JDSU alignment guides fit ARINC 801 connectors, providing a compatible interface for inspection and cleaning.
Dirt on fiber end faces causes insertion loss, back-reflection, and permanent damage by digging into the glass interface.
Inspecting and cleaning connectors before mating is proactive, preventing signal loss and equipment damage from loose debris.
Reactive inspection occurs after a problem is found, potentially leading to permanent damage due to embedded debris.
Emphasizes that fiber end face inspection is critical at all stages of fiber handling, from manufacturing to flight line.
