Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a fiber optic connector assembly including a fiber optic connector with a front end and a back end. A ferrule positioned at the front end. The ferrule has a distal end face with a central region and recessed regions on opposite sides of the central region. The assembly includes a dust cap mounted on the ferrule. The dust cap has an open end and an opposite closed end. The fiber optic connector assembly also includes a tape member that covers the central region of the ferrule. The tape member can be secured to the dust cap such that when the dust cap is removed, the tape member simultaneously comes off with the dust cap.

Abstract: A fiber optic ferrule inspection tool (100) inspects and cleans a fiber optic ferrule (900). The tool includes a mounting arrangement (216), a camera (500), a grazing light assembly (800), an axial light (512), and a nozzle (320, 320′). The mounting arrangement (216) is adapted to releasably mount the fiber optic ferrule. The camera (500) is mounted to the mounting arrangement and captures at least one image (920, 922) of the fiber optic ferrule. The grazing light assembly (800) is mounted to the mounting arrangement and is adapted to emit grazing light and thereby illuminate an end (902) of the fiber optic ferrule. Rays (rg) of the grazing light are oriented to the end of the fiber optic ferrule within an angular range of 0 to 30 degrees. Rays (ra) of the axial light (512) are oriented to the end of the fiber optic ferrule about an angular range within 30 to 90 degrees. The nozzle (320, 320′) is positioned by the mounting arrangement and is adapted to supply ionized air (352) and thereby clean and electrostatically neutralize the fiber optic ferrule.
