 Fiber-to-the-Antenna (FTTA) Installation and Maintenance Testing
Inspect Before You Connect
Contamination is the  source of troubleshooting in optical networks!
A single particle mated into the core of a fiber can cause significant back reflection (return loss), insertion loss, and
equipment damage. Visual inspection is the only way to determine if fiber connectors are truly clean before mating
them.
