As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the telecom industry is facing an unprecedented challenge: Today, more people than ever before rely on high-speed Internet connections. This has led to a huge increase in consumption.

In other words, telecom professionals need to guarantee a reliable and strong connection, which is only possible if clean connectors and end faces are used.

This requires a solid understanding of the overall process so that it can be performed properly. In this article, we will explain the complexity of cleaning fiber optics and the importance of cleaning fiber connectors.

To improve network performance, it is necessary to clean fiber optic patch cords

Fiber optic installers are well aware that the cleanliness of connector and end faces can improve the performance of network systems. The premise is simple: telecommunications is all about the transmission of information. Anything that impairs data transmission should be avoided at all times. Therefore, it is necessary to have clean systems.

Cleanliness in telecom installation can also help you reduce the costs associated with potential transmission outages: today's Internet connection problems can equate to catastrophic losses.

Dirty or contaminated equipment, what's more, tends to last less than its intended life, so the risk of premature obsoleting is high. An uncleaned element can corrupt the rest of the entire connection.

Another important aspect to consider in having a clean system is that the sooner you establish the habit of cleaning your connectors early among telecommunications professionals, the less likely you are to have problems in the future as dust and debris accumulate over time. You don't feel the consequences until it's too late.

Formulate policies before cleaning Fiber Optic Adapters

Cleaning fiber connectors and end faces should be consistent and therefore should become a habit. As with all habits, you need to have a clear protocol in place before you actually implement it. At the end of the day, if you try to do something repeatedly and don't do it well, it will do more harm than good.

Start with your surroundings. Many people think you should only focus on the items you are going to clean. However, you should also look at the environment in which your system is working.

Make sure the cleaning items are clean. Direct touching of specific end faces or patchcord connectors should be done with caution. One might think that just using a cleaning cloth to cover it would be sufficient, but one might not be sure whether the cloth has actually been used for cleaning. The end face or fiber connector may already be clean, but if it comes into contact with a dirty cloth, it may cause contamination.

Avoid static electricity. Pay attention to the material and texture of the cleaning tools. Cleaning basically involves the interaction of at least two elements. This causes friction and can also lead to static electricity: one of the worst enemies of any telecommunications system.

Don't trust what looks clean out there. Dust caps that protect fiber optic sources can also collect a lot of dust. They may look clean on the outside, but the inside may be contaminated, so make sure to check to see if they need cleaning on the inside.

How to Define the Three Value Standards of the End Face of the Patchcord?

The two end faces of the fiber must be precisely butted so that the light energy output by the transmitting fiber can be coupled to the receiving fiber to the maximum extent. The successful connection of optical fiber lines depends on the quality of the physical connection of the optical fibers.

How to Achieve Precise Connection of Optical Fibers with Fiber Connectors?

When two optical fibers are connected, due to the difference in position, shape, and structure of the two optical fibers, the energy cannot pass 100% from one optical fiber to the other optical fiber, that is, connection loss occurs. To minimize connection losses, the two optical fibers must be precisely aligned.

Classification and Instruction for Use of Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Fiber optic patch cord refers to connector plugs installed at both ends of the optical cable to realize the active connection of the optical path； One end with a plug is called a pigtail. Fiber optic patch cords are similar to coaxial cables, except that there is no mesh shield. The center is the glass core of light propagation.
