There are 3 basic principles that are critical to achieving an efficient fiber 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. As a result,
CONTAMINATION is the #1 reason for troubleshooting optical networks.
Implementing the process of cleaning and inspecting before mating can reduce the time spent troubleshooting,
optimize signal performance and prevent damage.

Abrasive particles (i.e. rock dust) can
cause permanent damage to the
interface. If interface is scratched it cannot
be repaired, it would need to be replaced.
