Function of Dust Caps on Fiber Optic Couplers
Adapter dust caps are specially designed covers placed on the open ends of unused fiber optic adapters. Their primary purpose is to prevent dust, debris, and other contaminants from entering the adapter and potentially damaging the sensitive fiber end-faces or connectors. Network operators claim that 15-50% of all network problems can be traced to dirty connectors causing connection problems. Thankfully Fluke Networks' FI-7000 FiberInspector Pro accelerates the process by inspecting and certifying endfaces to the IEC 61300-3-35 Basic Test and Measurement Procedures Standard in just over a second. And in case you haven't heard, our award-winning FI-3000 FiberInspector™ Pro MPO Inspection.
