Small form-factor pluggable transceivers (SFP’s) are increasingly common in multiple areas of the telecom environment within fiber-based architectures using Rx/Tx systems such as in data centers or fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA). Inspecting and cleaning these connectors creates a whole new set of challenges for technicians to tackle. In this short video, Francis Audet will explain in lay terms: what is an SFP connector, why it represents a challenge to inspect, and more importantly what you should know about how to inspect one.
