When producing fiber optic patch cord assemblies, manufacturers use 3D interferometer (which is an optical interferometry instrument) to check the fiber optic connector endface and strictly control th...
HOME / What are the three items measured in the 3D test for fiber optic patch cords - Indzawo Optic Connect
The three main properties measured are the radius of curvature, apex offset, and fiber height. As you can see in the image below, radius of curvature is the roundness of the ferrule''s

A radius of curvature that exceeds the test standard results in light scattering or insufficient physical contact to ensure excellent transmission performance. Only a proper radius of

If the height of the fiber is too high, the pressure in the fiber will be increased when the two fiber connectors are connected, thereby damaging the fiber; if the height of the fiber is too low, there
