Fiber optic end-face inspection
Count and grade scratches and defects by zone on a connector end-face, per IEC 61300-3-35.
Example outputs shown for illustration. Numbers depend on your samples and protocol.
What you get
The measurement, today
End-face grading is a technician looking down a scope and making a pass or fail call. The zone boundaries and the size thresholds live in their head, and the result is not logged with the image.
What it costs
A scratch across the core or debris on the contact zone raises insertion and return loss, which surfaces later as a link that will not certify. Re-terminating in the field costs far more than catching it at assembly.
From image to reviewed result
- 1
Image the end-face
Load an inspection-scope image of the polished connector end-face.
- 2
Register the zones
The four concentric zones (core, cladding, adhesive, ferrule) are placed on the fibre.
- 3
Detect and size
Scratches and defects are separated and measured within each zone.
- 4
Apply the criteria
The per-zone count-and-size rules give a pass or fail for every zone.
Scope: Applies the IEC 61300-3-35 zone-and-size counting rules to the end-face image. Pass and fail thresholds vary by connector type; select the ruleset that matches your connector.
