Home / The function of the polishing pad in fiber optic patch cords

A fiber polishing pads is the support layer beneath the polishing film, responsible for distributing pressure evenly and maintaining surface flatness during the connector polishing process. The polishing process is critical for achieving low insertion loss and high return loss in fiber patch cords. Following strict procedures for cutting, polishing, and inspection ensures stable performance and long service life. The paper also discusses troubleshooting methods when re-polishing is required due to the various post polishing failures.
