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.

Concepts
Fiber Connector
(Simplex)
Fiber Connection
(Simplex)
Fiber connectors enable ber-to-ber mating by aligning the two optical bers. Fiber
connectors come in various types and have dierent characteristics for use in dierent
applications. The main components of a ber connector are detailed below:

Ferrule

CHAPT ER 2
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.

Body
Simplex and
Multi-ber Connectors
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
called the MTP®).

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.
