How to fix Alignment Error (L)(R)(LR) on Sumitomo Industrial Electrical?
An alignment error may occur if there is dust in the V-groove or on the fiber. To resolve this, clean the V-groove and re-cleave the fiber.
Why is my Sumitomo TYPE-66M12 fiber breaking?
Fiber breakage can occur if the arc power level is too weak; in this case, re-do an arc test. Also, clean the V-grooves and bare fiber pads completely. Deterioration of a jacket remover/fiber cleaver may also cause breaking, so ensure these are clean as well.
