Megladon Manufacturing's presentation "Extending the Lifecycle of Fiber Optic Cables" (Power Point Presentation at www.megladonmfg.com) highlighted the challenges within fiber optic networks because of the fragile nature of fiber optic cables. Scratches and contamination on the mating surface of a fiber patch cord will cause decreased performance in the overall network, making the network only as reliable as the patch cords.
Industry best practices can contribute to extending the lifespan of the fiber optic cables, but are limited in their ability to actually safeguard fiber cables from damage. An introduction to Megladon Manufacturing. SCRATCHGAURD(TM) technology shows how existing technology can help strengthen optical networks through more robust connector technology.
