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.

Cure the epoxy by itself (not in your application) to ensure it meets the manufacturer’s specifications.

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.

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.

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.

In nearly all installation situations - in a patch-bay on an equipment rack, in a termination junction box, on the faceplate of electronic equipment

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. These strength members are also known by the trade name Kevlar®.

When a manufacturer inspects an end-face, it is immediately capped afterward with a plastic dust cap

The connector’s specifications dictate the quality of its performance and long-term reliability. That’s why it’s imperative to purchase high-quality connectors.

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.
