When planning and purchasing cable assemblies for any installation, verify from your supplier that they provide connector end-faces that meet or exceed industry standards on end-face cleanliness (for example, IEC 61300-3-35).Meeting these standards is common industry practice.TIP: Include a requirement in your purchase contract or supplier drawings that such standards are adhered to.
