Fiber optic patch cord end face grinding issue

Home / Fiber optic patch cord end face grinding issue

Defective end-faces can occur due to inadequate polishing techniques or the use of subpar materials. To evaluate the quality of optical fiber connectors, it is necessary to measure the shape parameters of the connector pin body end face after grinding and polishing, including three important parameters: radius of curvature, vertex offset and core depression. It's crucial to inspect, clean, and reinspect fiber end faces before mating connectors — whether on patch cords and trunks within the network or on the test reference cord you connect to your tester.
