Connector match
Both ends must match the adapter or port they plug into.
Polish match
Do not mix APC and UPC connectors.
Fiber type
Use single-mode with single-mode networks and multimode with multimode.
Adapters
ODF and panel adapters must suit the connector type.
Pigtails and terminals
Pigtails are spliced into the system; patch cords connect from them to equipment.
Decisions that get the choice right.
Connector at each end
Check the port or adapter on both sides.
Fiber type and polish
Match to the rest of the link.
Length
Short enough to stay tidy, long enough to avoid tight bends.
Duplex or simplex

Common questions
Can I plug an APC connector into a UPC adapter?
No. Mixing polish types causes poor performance and can damage the connector faces.
How do I tell single-mode from multimode?
Jacket colors often help, with yellow commonly used for single-mode, but always check the cord's printed markings.
Do I need to clean connectors?
Yes. Dirty connector ends are a very common cause of weak signal.
