Fiber Cleanliness in the Data Center
Fiber Cleanliness in the Data Center
Learn MoreThe best technical solutions today are designed and deployed to transfer the exabytes of data required to support our social and professional interactions. All of this, however, can still be undone by a single piece of dirt, grease or even a skin flake on the end of a fiber connector.
This paper describes the impact of cleanliness in the data center and some of our findings in a study of debris and other contamination on optical connectors. We discuss the effect of contamination on optical loss and highlight the challenges of estimating loss based on visual inspection.
