[AusNOG] Failed fibre

[Ramsay, Paul]

I have seen dirty connectors, fibres not inserted properly and also loose cladding at the connectors stressing and breaking the fibre over time. Not to mention macro bends and pressure points along their runs which may still be within the optical budget but the slightest bump anywhere may cause an outage, also mismatched fibres (SM & MM) and connectors (straight to angled SC).
Cheers 
Paul
