InsPeCt Before YoU ConneCt ThE PROBLEm CONTAmINATION IS ThE #1 REASON FOR TROuBLEShOOTINg optical networks. A single particle mated into the core of a fiber can cause significant back reflection, insertion loss, and equipment damage.

Page 5: Fiber Optic Connectors
fIBer oPtIC ConneCtors SINgLE FIBER CONNECTORS Also called simplex connectors, these types contain a single fiber located in the center of a ceramic zirconia ferrule. The alignment of the mated connectors/fibers is achieved inside a ceramic or bronze mating sleeve within the bulkhead adapter. -
Page 6: Effect On Signal Performance
effeCt on sIGnal PerforManCe Dirt is everywhere, and a typical dust particle (2–15 μm in diameter) can significantly affect signal performance and cause permanent damage to the fiber end face. Most field 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. -
Page 7: Proactive Vs. Reactive Inspection
ProaCtIve vs. reaCtIve InsPeCtIon PROACTIvE INSPECTION Loose debris and dirt are much easier to clean prior to mating the 2 connector sides. By visually inspecting fiber connectors at every stage of handling before mating them, you are proactive in preventing signal loss and equipment damage. -
Page 8: Inspection: Westover Fbp Probe
Westover fBP ProBe MICrosCoPe FBP PROBE OvERvIEW JDSU's Westover FBP-series probes are portable video microscopes used to inspect fiber optic connectivity. While most fiber microscopes are limited to inspecting male connectors, JDSU's FBP probe is designed to inspect both simplex and multi-fiber (ribbon) types of both male and female connectors, as well as optical devices such as transceivers. -
Page 9: Cleaning: Cleanblast - Portable
CleanBlast – PortaBle CLEANBLAST OvERvIEW The patented JDSU CleanBlast fiber end face cleaning systems provide a fast, effective, and cost-efficient solution for removing dirt and debris from connectors in most common applications. CleanBlast is a non-contact system that uses a highly filtered stream of pressurized gas with a vacuum circuit to create a high flow rate jet across the surface of the fiber. -
