Advancements in Fiber Optic Connector Polishing: Traditional vs. Optically Aligned Fixtures

History To ensure compatibility between fiber optic connectors from different manufacturers, the Telcordia GR-326 standard was developed. This standard specifies connector ferrule endface geometries essential for cross-compatibility. The key criteria include apex offset, radius of curvature (ROC), and fiber height. About the Process ROC and fiber height are mainly process-oriented parameters. Apex offset is influenced by both the polishing ...
