1. Optical performance testing, including the return loss / insertion loss testing. Test instruments selectable FibKey 7602 Return Loss / Insertion Loss integration testing equipment.

2. The end face geometry test, test parameters including radius of curvature, apex offset, fiber height. Test instrument is an interferometer, a lot of people use NorlandAC / NC3000 or CC6000 test. Especially CC6000 interferometer because cost advantages, more and more factories to use this instrument.

3. The fiber end scratch detection, the use of fiber optic video magnifier observation. For example, many factories use FibView FV-400PA be checked. The instrument gives the clearest picture, the operation is extremely simple. Some customers also choose FibKey-5600 Variable multiples magnifying glass to detect, this instrument set 400 times, 200 times, 80 times the magnifying glass in one, clearly easily observe the fiber end face and ferrule end face situation. Of course you can also use the software to automatically check.

4. The fiber tensile testing, need to test fiber optic connectors can withstand tension size.

5. The ambient temperature test, we need to test fiber optic connector performance at different temperature conditions.
