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

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
