Connect the APC probe tip to the FI-500 and insert the ferrule into the probe tip. Press the AutoFocus (AF) button on
How to measure APC8 degrees on a fiber optic patch cord
The geometry of the APC tips will accommodate the 8% angle of the APC endface finish on the ferrule so you will be able to view the endface on the display. Now we see that if I polish a conical ferrule at 8 degrees – then measure in an interferometer (which also holds the ferrule at 8 degrees) – it is virtually impossible for me to get good Apex Offset measurements. 0 degrees vertical angle during polishing (perpendicular to the polishing surface). As long as the ferrule is perfectly perpendicular to the polishing surface, the Apex (highest point) of the radiused endface will be the exact center of. Among them, SC/APC Fiber Optic Patch Cords feature excellent return loss performance and high...
