There are three basic principles that are critical to achieving an efficient fiber optic connection:
y Perfect core alignment
y Physical contact
y 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.
