New! Glossary of Fiber Optic terms.
Contamination is the #1 reason for troubleshooting in optical networks. Dirt is everywhere, and a single particle mated into the core of a fiber can cause significant back reflection, insertion loss, and equipment damage. Most field test failures can be attributed to dirty connectors, and most connectors are not inspected until the detection of a problem, after the result of permanent damage. More than ever, proactive fiber inspection and cleaning have become network-critical measures that must be addressed.
Visual fiber inspection is the only way to determine if connectors are truly clean before they are mated. With inspection and cleaning solutions that address the needs of fiber component and system manufacturers, communication service providers, premises network managers, and military and aerospace industries, JDSU provides the most complete product portfolio for inspecting and cleaning fiber optic connectors. Explore these resources to see firsthand how a proactive “Inspect Before You Connect” program with JDSU Westover inspection and cleaning tools can speed deployment, reduce downtime, optimize signal performance, and protect network components from damage.
