DISCLAIMER
Diamond provides connectors respecting the criteria below, but with mating and de-mating the optical surface
will degrade visually while the optical performance (IL, RL) remain normally intact. Visual Inspection is NOT a
valid return criteria.
The reliable assessment of the power transmission and/or the reflection performances in an optical link between
two fibers should be performed through direct measurements of IL and RL since those are the values that the
end user will actually observe once the system is deployed.
Visual inspection for surface imperfections is an acceptable back-up solution in case direct measurements cannot
be performed. However, it can only indicate the suitability of a connection for use but cannot guarantee that
IL and RL specifications are going to be met. In this context, visual inspection should be considered only as a
qualitative assessment of the connector’s performance.
