Quality of Connection

The performance and reliability of an optical connection is crucial for the long term performance of the optical networks.
It depends on 6 Major Factor

Clean Fiber Endface & Ferrule Surface

BTC has 3 stages of end-face inspection during their manufacturing process (100%)

- 400X Videoscopic Inspection after polishing.
  - Make sure that Fiber & Ferrule endface is 100% free of Scratches and pits
- 400X Videoscopic Checking before Insertion Loss/ BR Testing.
  - Make sure that no damage is causes during connector mating
- 100X Videoscopic Final Inspection
  - All the ferrule surface and fiber surface is checked

Contaminated Connector endface
