Overview
The fiber optic connector consists of a fiber optic plug and its adapter. The
end of the fiber optic cable is held in the core of the ferrule in the plug as
shown in Figure 71. Light signals are transmitted through the core of the
fiber.

Even minor smudges or dirt on the end face of the fiber, completely
invisible to the naked eye, can disrupt light transmission and lead to failure
of the component or of the entire system. Figure 72 shows part of the end
face of an unclean and clean ferrule.
