Why is it necessary to polish and finish a fibre-optic cable connector?
Fibre-optic cable connectors are polished to achieve three main goals. First, to remove any residual epoxy that might be present. Second, to precisely shape the tip to its correct geometric characteristics. Third, to remove scratches and ensure the right fibre height.
