Fiber Connectors

The PSY-201 has two fiber connectors on the front panel for the optical input and output.

The front panel adapters are universal connector interfaces (UCI), which feature a male-type

adapter top piece that can be removed for direct access to the ferrule end for routine cleaning and
maintenance without removing the entire adapter from the panel. This feature helps avoid high

insertion loss, high return loss and measurement instability caused by dirty or contaminated
connectors. In addition, the PSY-201’s universal interchangeable adapter allows the user to switch
to ST, SC, or FC connectors without opening the instrument panel. Although the PSY-201 is

shipped with a customer specified fiber adapter, other interchangeable inserts are available. For
additional information on different input fiber adapter inserts, please contact General Photonics.

External fiber connectors should be cleaned using industry standard cleaning methods

before connection to the PSY-201. If this procedure is followed before each connection, the

instrument’s internal connector ferrules should not need regular cleaning. However, high insertion
loss or measurement instability that does not improve after cleaning the external connectors may

indicate that the instrument’s internal connector ferrules require cleaning.

Ferrule Cleaning Procedure

Each connector ferrule is contained in a universal connector interface consisting of a front

piece that connects to the external fiber connector and a base piece that is mounted on the front

panel of the instrument, as shown in Figure 5. To clean a connector ferrule, first, make sure no
external connector is connected to the universal connector interface. Then, using a Phillips

screwdriver, remove the two small screws connecting the front and back parts of the adapter, and
carefully pull the front flange straight out. (Note: never remove the adapter base from the front
panel). The ferrule end should now be exposed. Clean the ferrule using standard cleaning

procedures (compressed air or a fresh lint-free tissue and alcohol or other connector-cleaning
solvent), taking care to avoid scratching the ferrule surface. Finally, replace the front flange

(position it so that the key notch faces up, and the small alignment pin lines up with the hole in
the base piece, before pushing it in) and the screws. For frequent measurements, we recommend

that the user prepare a patch cord fiber to avoid wear on the internal connector.
