Page 4: Introduction To Fiber Inspection
INtrOdUctION tO FIBEr INspEctION FIBER INSPECTION OVERVIEW Contamination is the number 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. Visual inspection is the only way to determine if fiber connectors are truly clean before mating them. -
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: Mil-Aero Connectors
MIl-aErO cONNEctOrs Receptacle ARINC 801 Mil-Aero connectors are fiber optic connectors used in aerospace applications. Established by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC), ARINC 801 is part of the ARINC 800 series of fiber optic standards for avionics networking. All ARINC 801 connectors utilize a 1.25 mm ferrule and are mated in a pin and socket configuration. -
Page 7: Effect On Signal Performance
EFFEct ON sIGNal pErFOrMaNcE THE PROBLEM 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 8: Inspect Before You Connect
INspEct BEFORE YOU cONNEct THE SOLUTION INSPECT Before YoU CoNNECT By implementing a simple yet important process of proactively inspecting and cleaning before mating, you can prevent poor signal performance and equipment damage. 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. -

FBp prOBE MIcrOscOpE FBP PROBE OVERVIEW JDSU 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. The probe is specially designed to fit 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. - Page 18 JdsU INspEctION tIps, GUIdEs, BarrEl assEMBlIEs INSPECTION TIPS AND GUIDES To optimize the performance and safety of fiber inspection, the probe microscope is used in conjunction with various interchangeable tips and guides. Each tip or guide is specifically designed to accessibility and accurate inspection for every connector on the aircraft without causing harm to the connections.
