The Enemy Within!

Optical fibre has proven itself to be a reliable, hi-bandwidth medium

“Apparent” reliability has allowed bad habits to develop

Significant changes to network demands undermine “apparent” reliability

The absence of “end-caps” is symptomatic of bad practice

End-caps do not “in themselves” prevent contamination

Problems may be more deep-seated

Contamination control presents an administrative challenge

The Old Ways

INSTALLATION

TESTING

OPERATION

Assume anything that arrives in plastic bag to be “clean”Only inspect on-site termination work

Never inspect

until test results begin to show systematic problems

Assume anything that has an “end-cap” to be “clean”

If a fault occurs following connection:

Give the plug a quick “polish”

Choose a new connection from the paneluntil you find one that works
