Factory terminated fiber cabling improves optical performance and reduces installation labor costs relative to field terminated fiber cabling. However, the precision and consistency of factory terminated fiber will often give the installer a false sense of security. The installation process exposes the cable to stress and potential damage that is beyond the scope of any factory test. These potential risks must be mitigated with rock-solid field testing and proof of workmanship to defend against claims of non-performance.
