Tips to Investigate Core Cracking Issues and Identify the Cause
We characterize epoxy-related core cracking as a phenomenon because this problem can occur infrequently and irregularly. If you experience this, you can investigate the possible causes and solutions in this article.
Tips on Epoxy Curing
Cure the epoxy by itself (not in your application) to ensure it meets the manufacturer’s specifications.
Tips on Epoxy Injection into Ferrule
It is common practice to inject epoxy into the rear of a ferrule, until a small bead of epoxy is observed exiting the ferrule tip. This is an effective way to ensure that the entire ferrule hole has been filled with epoxy prior to inserting fiber.
Tips From the Connector Backside
Starting from the point that the SC is an industry-standard connector, everyone knows that it is standardized on the connection point, meaning that all other areas like the inner-housing, ferrule size and ferrule shape, housing color, backside, and strain relief boot are custom to the manufacturer.
Tips on Inner Housing
We will share some insight when it comes to changing a connector supplier. Most of today’s SC connectors are the ‘one-piece’ design which is an assembly of ferrule inner-housing and backside. Often are the outer-housing, crimp sleeve and the strain relief boot in bulk package separately provided.
When the “back-side” connector end-face is contaminated, it is difficult to have access to remove the connector for cleaning
In nearly all installation situations - in a patch-bay on an equipment rack, in a termination junction box, on the faceplate of electronic equipment
Tips on end-face quality and cleanliness
Fiber end-face defects (scratches, pits, cracks) and particle contamination have a direct impact on the performance of the connector, which contributes to poor IL/RL.
Aramid Yarns and Good Stripping Techniques
Aramid yarns. These strength members are also known by the trade name Kevlar®.
Ways in Which the End-face Can Become Contaminated Along the Way
When a manufacturer inspects an end-face, it is immediately capped afterward with a plastic dust cap

Tips from the cable assembly experts
Damaging inner materials when stripping any layer of the cable, is a ticking time-bomb. A fiber which has been scratched on the outer diameter may indeed function perfectly well for some time.
