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.
Caution reminder: Never look directly into the end of a
fiber or connector when connected to a laser light source
using the naked eye or a microscope.
