Inspecting the Fiber End
►
Procedure
Perform the steps below to inspect the condition of the fiber after polishing:
1. Ensure that the 9025 SMA Scope Adapter is attached to the inspection scope.
2. Connect the SMA connector and fiber to be examined to the SMA adapter on the end of the
inspection scope.
3. Turn the inspection scope’s light on.
4. Look through the end of the inspection scope to verify the condition of the fiber. If there are
no visible cracks, grooves, or scuffs on the fiber surface, the fiber polishing procedure is
complete.
If you locate cracks, grooves, scuffs, or other imperfections on the fiber surface, repeat Steps
7-10 of the
section (above), then re-examine the condition of the fiber
after repolishing.
