Hi folks:

When connecting MM glass fibers, 200/240 mu core/cladding, 0.22 NA, with
SMA/905 connectors, I experience losses in the order of 20% to 30%.
I use a SMA mating sleeve.

Do I have bad patch cords with to high tolerances? Bad mating sleeves?
Bad conncetor end face polish? But what tolerance at 200 mu fibers??

Or this normal?

Regards
Rainer
