Eliminate the #1 cause of fiber failure
End-face contamination is a leading cause of fiber failures. Dirt and contaminant
cause insertion loss and back-reflection that inhibits optical transmission and causes
havoc with transceivers. Fiber loss and OTDR testing can expose this problem, but in
many cases, dirty connections make fiber testing time consuming and inaccurate.
Since dirt can be an issue before, during, or after fiber optic certification testing, and
migrate from one end-face to another upon mating, both sides of any connection
must always be cleaned and inspected.
Further, mating contaminated connectors can cause permanent damage as
microscopic debris is crushed between end-faces in physical contact. Even factory
terminated patch cords or pigtails must be inspected as protective caps do not keep
end-faces clean. Avoiding this common cause of failure, starts with inspecting the
end-face and eliminating any contamination before insertion into a bulkhead or piece
of equipment.
Roughly 85% of fiber optic network
failures are due to contaminated
end-faces. While inspecting and
cleaning end faces and connectors
is not new, it is growing in
importance and linked with
increasing data rates which impact
budgets.
Fluke Networks’ FI-7000
FiberInspector Pro allows you to
inspect and certify end-faces in 2
seconds so you can get the job done
the first time. Automated PASS/FAIL
certification take the guess work out
of fiber inspection so anyone can be
a fiber expert.
