Simple Solution
INSPECT BEFORE YOU CONNECT
CONTAMINATION IS THE #1 SOURCE OF TROUBLESHOOTING in optical networks.
A single particle mated into the core of a ber can cause signicant back reection,
insertion loss, and equipment damage. Visual inspection is the only way to determine if
ber connectors are truly clean before mating them.
By implementing a SIMPLE yet IMPORTANT process of proactive visual inspection and
cleaning, you can prevent poor signal performance and equipment damage.

Solutions
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.
The JDSU video ber inspection probe and handheld display system is used to quickly
and easily inspect connector end faces, which ultimately minimizes loss and optimizes
test conditions. Westover FBP-series video probes, available in digital or analog and single
or dual-magnication (200/400X) models are high-performance, handheld microscopes
designed for inspecting both female (bulkhead) and male (patch cord) connectors, as
well as other optical devices. The probe microscope can also be combined with a USB
converter module to inspect connectors via compatible test platforms and PC/laptop.
Our versatile systems oer a wide range of congurable solutions that can meet the
demands of any application.

Fiber Optic Connectors
Body Houses the ferrule that secures the ber in place; utilizes a latch and key mechanism that
aligns the ber and prevents the rotation of ferrules of two mated connectors.
Ferrule Thin cylinder where the ber is mounted and acts as the ber alignment mechanism; the
end of the ber is located at the end of the ferrule.
Fiber Cladding
Glass layer surrounding the core, which prevents the signal in the core from escaping.
Core
The critical center layer of the ber; the
conduit that light passes through.

Simplex Fiber Connector
A simplex ber connector contains a
single ber located in the center of the
ferrule. Common types include SC, LC, FC
and ST.
Multi-ber Connector
A multi-ber/ribbon ber connector
contains multiple linear bers (4, 8, 12,
24, 48 or 72) in a single connector to
provide high-density connectivity. The
most common conguration is MPO (also

BACK REFLECTION
Contamination Dirt is everywhere, and a typical dust particle (2–15 μm in diameter) can signicantly
aect signal performance and cause permanent damage to the ber end face. Most eld
test failures can be attributed to dirty connectors, and most of them are not inspected
until the problem is detected, AFTER permanent damage has already occurred.
When dirt particles get on the core surface the light becomes blocked, creating
unacceptable insertion loss and back-reection. Furthermore, those particles can
permanently damage the glass interface, digging into the glass and leaving pits that
create further back-reection if mated. Also, large particles of dirt on the cladding layer
and/or the ferrule can introduce a barrier that prevents physical contact and creates an
air gap between the bers. To further complicate matters, loose particles have a tendency
to migrate.
Scratches are typically created during polishing, cleaning or mishandling ber connectors.
Scratches that touch the core are problematic because they create back reection.

Introduction
JDSU's Westover FBP Series Probe Microscopes are portable video microscopes used
to inspect ber optic connectivity. While most ber microscopes are limited to inspecting
“male” connectors, JDSU's FBP Probe is designed to inspect both simplex and multi-ber
(ribbon) types of both male and female connectors as well as optical devices, such as
transceivers. The probe is specially designed to t and operate comfortably and easily
in-hand, allowing the user to inspect hard-to-reach connectors that are installed on
the backside of patch panels or inside hardware devices. This eliminates the need to
disassemble hardware devices prior to inspection.

FBPT Inspection Tips & Adapters
Standard Tips (Bulkhead and Patch Cord)
Standard bulkhead tips allow the user to inspect the ber end face on the female side of
the bulkhead (e.g., inside hardware devices or on the back side of patch panels).
Standard patch cord tips allow inspection of male ends of a ber connection (e.g., patch
cords, pigtails). Universal tips include the FBPT-U25M, compatible with 2.5 mm ferrules
(e.g., FC, SC, ST) and the FBPT-U12M, used to inspect 1.25 mm ferrules (e.g., LC, MU).
Long Reach Tips
Long reach tips have a 1/2-in longer reach than standard tips, and allow the user to
inspect the ber end faces in tight, hard-to-reach spaces.
APC Tips
APC tips are designed with an angle that complements the end face of an APC polish
ber connector. This allows the entire ber image to stay in focus during inspection.
Angled Tips
Angled tips, identied by “A6,” are angled 60 degrees to allow easy maneuvering and
inspection of hard-to-reach locations such as transceivers on a printed circuit board (PCB)
or bulkheads located in tight spaces.
RibbonDriveTM Tips
JDSU's patented RibbonDrive tips are specialty tips that allow inspection of high-density,
multiber array connectors that are mounted within a bulkhead adapter. Each tip mates
securely with connectors using a precision-keyed mating adapter interface. The patented
panning knob allows the user to view each ber individually in the linear array.

Alignment Guides
Alignment guides enable the inspection of various military and aerospace connectors
that use a plug and receptacle design. In addition to providing an alignment channel for
sockets, these alignment guides work in conjunction with a barrel assembly to prevent
the pins from breaking.
FMA Adapters
FMA Adapters provide optimized inspection for male connector ends and are ideal for
inspecting patch cords with multi-ber ribbon and APC polish connectors. FMA adapters
can be utilized by a probe microscope with a universal are adapter (FBPT-UFMA).

Introduction
OTDR Trace of
Contamination and
its Eect on Signal
Performance
Dirt is everywhere, and a typical dust particle (2–15 μm in diameter) can signicantly
aect signal performance and cause permanent damage to the ber end face. Most eld
test failures can be attributed to dirty connectors, and most of them are not inspected
until the problem is detected, after permanent damage has already occurred.
When dirt particles get on the core surface, light becomes blocked, creating unacceptable
insertion loss and back-reection. Furthermore, these contamination particles can
permanently damage the glass interface by digging into the glass and leaving pits when
mated, causing further signal loss. Damage also occurs when large particles of dirt on the
cladding layer and/or the ferrule cause barriers that prevent physical contact, creating air
gaps in the connection. These large particles are also known to break apart and migrate
across the ber surface when mated.

Acquiring attenuation measurements (optical link loss) on optical components or ber
optic links (e.g., ber connectors, cable assemblies, installed ber optic links) is done by
measuring the relative power level (dB) at the far end of the link or device under test.
Relative power level (attenuation measurement) is the amount of power lost (attenuated)
by the optical link being tested, measured in dB. The source of this power is typically a
handheld optical light source. This test determines whether the optical link is constructed
properly, either as a qualication test or when troubleshooting the network.
To measure attenuation, you must:
1. Get a reference measurement
2. Get an attenuation measurement
