This effort was to develop requirements for allowable surface defects, such as scratches, pits, and contamination. The intent of this project was to develop fiber optic connector inspection criteria, which may be comprised of different requirements based on the application (i.e., transmission speed, SM, MM, receptacle devices etc.). The Fiber Connector End-Face Inspection Specifications is a follow-on effort to the INEMI Fiber Optics Signal Performance Project.
