• Why do we clean fiber optic connector endfaces ?• Why is an optimized inspection so important ?
The following answers could be suitable
Cleanliness is one of the main conditions for proper functioning of fiber optic system.
An optimized fiber optic inspection is the best way to detect the causes of the typical system performance degradations:
• Poor analog transmission quality• Increase of the digital bit error rates• Reduction of the coupled light power• Receiver input power outside optimum operating range • Dirty connectors may cause damage to their mated counterparts
As solution for these problems DIAMOND offers a wide range of products in order to allow a safe connector inspection and cleaning.
