Inspecting
Fiber-Optic
Cables
Consistent
measurements
with
your
lightwave
equipment
are
a
good
indication
that
you
have
good
connections
.
However
,
you
may
wish
to
know
the
insertion
loss
and/or
return
loss
of
your
lightwave
cables
or
accessories
.
If
you
test
your
cables
and
accessories
for
insertion
loss
and
return
loss
upon
receipt,
and
retain
the
measured
data
for
comparison,
you
will
be
able
to
tell
in
the
future
if
any
degradation
has
occurred.
Connector
(or
insertion)
loss
is
one
important
performance
characteristic
of
a
lightwave
connector
.
Typical
values
are
less
than
1
dB
of
loss
,
and
sometimes
as
little
as
0.1
dB
of
loss
with
high
performance
connectors
.
Return
loss
is
another
important
factor
.
It
is
a
measure
of
reection:
the
less
reection
the
better
(the
larger
the
return
loss
,
the
smaller
the
reection).
The
best
physically
contacting
connectors
have
return
losses
better
than
50
dB
,
although
30
to
40
dB
is
more
common.
Y
ou
can
visually
inspect
your
cables
Although
it
is
not
necessary
,
visual
inspection
of
ber
ends
can
be
helpful.
Contamination
or
imperfections
on
the
cable
end
face
can
be
detected
as
well
as
cracks
or
chips
in
the
ber
itself
.
Use
a
microscope
(100X
to
200X
magnication)
to
inspect
the
entire
end
face
for
contamination,
raised
metal,
or
dents
in
the
metal
as
well
as
an
y
other
imperfections.
Inspect
the
ber
for
cracks
and
chips.
Visible
imperfections
not
touching
the
ber
core
ma
y
not
aect
performance
(unless
the
imperfections
keep
the
bers
from
contacting).
