  • Principle of Automatic Visual Inspection of Fiber Optic Patch Cords

    Principle of Automatic Visual Inspection of Fiber Optic Patch Cords

    Endface inspection focuses on the visible quality of the polished fiber surface and surrounding ferrule area. You use a fiber microscope or automated inspection scope to check for contamination, pits, chips, cracks, and scratches. Even a small dust particle or scratch on the endface can increase insertion loss, reduce return loss, and introduce random link instability. The primary reason for fiber inspection is to ensure that the connectors are free of any defects, damage, or debris that would prevent sufficient transmission of light when mated.
