Home / How to read a cross-sectional view of a fiber optic connector

With a sharp razor blade, begin to cross-section the fiber in thin slices under the stereobinocular microscope. How many ways are there to look inside the connector? There are currently three methods of looking inside a fiber optic connector: (1) Non-destructive X-ray (2) Lossless sonar (3) Destructive cross section These methods help engineers determine the causes and effects of fiber optic connector. Optical fibers are circular dielectric wave-guides that can transport optical energy and information. Observations: This particular connector had multiple fractures inside ceramic ferrule (photo A.
