light beams travel in straight lines

Before we talking about the topic,i want to explain why we need to clean the waterproof connectors. You may never need to clean the RJ45 connector for your computer’s Ethernet network connection, then why do you need to clean a waterproof connector if it serves the same purpose as a networking connection? The answer is they are different.

Generally speaking,in electronics, as long as you have a contact between two connectors, they work perfectly; or at least most of the time. But for optics, light beams travel in straight lines, they bounce off whenever they hit anything and thus loss their energy. So in order for a light beam to carry the information signal and travel thousands of miles of optical fiber, its path must be kept crystal clear, including Waterproof Connectors in the network. What part of a Waterproof Connector should be cleaned, exactly? OK. Now comes the critical part. What part in the fiber connector needs cleaning, exactly? The short answer is the ferrule’s body and its end face. But what exactly is a ferrule? Ferrule is a cylindrical and also the most critical part in an optical fiber connector. It is usually made from stainless steel or Zirconia. Zirconia is a type of white colored ceramic which is an extremely refractory material. It offers chemical and corrosion inertness to temperatures well above the melting point of alumina. Zirconia is the preferred material for high quality fiber optic ferrules. Ferrules have a tiny hole in the center which holds optical fiber in place. Then the fiber is scribed and precisely polished to flush with the end face of the ferrule. Two fiber connectors can then mate to each other with a mating sleeve. When mated, two ferrules’ end faces contact each other perfectly and thus pass light from one fiber to another. Ferrules get dirty from dust, stain and debris made by constant plugging and unplugging after having been used for a while. These contaminations will block the light path and thus seriously reduce the light power and may disable the network connection.
