DIrTY FIBEr
Prior to Mating
Loose debris and dirt are much easier to clean prior to mating the 2 connector sides. By visually inspecting fiber
connectors at every stage of handling
before
mating them, you are
proactive
in preventing signal loss and
equipment damage.
Connectors are much easier to clean prior to mating, before embedding debris into the fiber.

After Mating and Multiple Cleanings
If dirty connectors are not inspected and cleaned prior to mating, dirt and debris can embed into the fiber
surface causing permanent damage. By visually inspecting
after
a problem is discovered, typically during
troubleshooting, you are taking a
reactive
approach.
By this time, connectors and other equipment may have suffered permanent damage.
