This Specifying Guide is an aid for selecting and purchasing fiber optic connectors.  It covers the different types of
commonly used connectors and explains insertion loss, return loss, visual inspection, and endface geometry.  
Fiber Optic Connector Failures
Many conditions can lead to fiber optic connector failure. These conditions occur during manufacturing or because of
environmental or handling factors. Examples include broken fiber in the ferrule, poor ferrule endface quality, scratched
connectors and improper mating. All can be avoided with proper design, screening, testing and handling of connectors.
