First step is to make an accurate inspection of the ferrule, using a video microscope. There are three main principles that needs to be taken in consideration for an efficient optical connection: a perfect core alignment, perfect physical contact and dirt-free connectors. 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.
