Before the network has a laser light source feeding 
your connector, inspect the fiber end face with 
3M™ 200X View Scope 6365-VS if you have one. 
If the fiber end face looks acceptable per photos to 
the right, then protect it with a dust cap, or insert 
into its adapter. If the connector needs rework, 
proceed to Section 6.0.
