Proactive Vs. Reactive Inspection - JDS Uniphase CleanBlast FCL-P1005 User Manual

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.
Connectors are much easier to clean prior to mating, before embedding debris into the fiber.

REACTIvE INSPECTION
If dirty connectors are not inspected and cleaned prior to mating, dirt and debris can embed into the fiber
surface causing permanent damage. By visually inspecting after a problem is discovered, typically during
troubleshooting, you are taking a reactive approach.
By this time, connectors and other equipment may have suffered permanent damage.
