There are 3 basic principles that are critical to
achieving an ecient ber optic connection:
1. Perfect Core Alignment
2. Physical Contact
3. Pristine Connector Interface
Today’s connector design and production techniques have eliminated most of the challenges to achieving core
alignment and physical contact.
What remains challenging is maintaining a pristine end face. As a result, CONTAMINATION is the #1 reason
for troubleshooting optical networks. Systematic and Proactive Inspection is the only way to ensure that the
connectors are truly clean before mating them. INSPECT BEFORE YOU CONNECT.
