SM APC MT Endface Quality: Project ScopeSM APC MT Endface Quality: Project Scope
• Evaluation of MT endface quality on APC MT connectors– Arizona Road Dust used for loose debris contaminant– Scratches caused by abrasive film
• SM, Low-loss MT’s used to minimize natural product variation. Maximum IL spec of .35dB.
Primary Goals: 1. Create SM MT acceptance tables for
inspection standards or confirm that existing single mode standards are applicable
2. Characterize particle migration

Why Study?Why Study?MT Ferrule MT Ferrule –– New Challenges for Endface Quality:New Challenges for Endface Quality:
• Industry need for SM Angled endface quality studies
• Industry need for MT endface quality studies
• Irregular appearance of glass filled polymeric ferrule makes contamination identification beyond fiber difficult
• Fibers protrude from ferrule surface typically 1-3 microns
• Potentially less contact force per fiber
• Fiber tip radius 2-3mm

ConclusionsConclusions
• SM APC MT connectors are surprisingly tolerant of contamination and scratches for low power applications.
• Poorest performance tends to be on outermost channels with relatively minimal Zone A occluded area. This suggests loss of PC as a primary failure mode.
• Light “white” scratches have little or no effect on performance.
• Scratch width alone may be a poor indicator of scratch depth and ultimate impact on performance.
• Current single fiber UPC tables may be extreme for standard MT APC applications.
• Re-distribution of particles between contaminated matings appear random.

Current Status & Future TasksCurrent Status & Future Tasks• Contamination data points (images + IL, RL performance
for each 5 matings) collected and uploaded to iNEMI FTP site for Arizona Road Dust Contamination.
• Scratched endface data collection in progress. Some data is available on iNEMI FTP site
• Occluded Area analysis, particle migration study started at Celestica (Dr. Berdinskikh; Aron Lau). Need to finalize image analysis.
• Need to propose tables for IEC 61300-3-35 Document and any future revision of IPC-8497.
