Abstract
An example method of polishing multi-fiber fiber optic ferrules with a polishing device is provided. The polishing device includes a polishing component with a polishing surface and a surface for securing multi-fiber fiber optic ferrules such that endfaces of the multi-fiber fiber optic ferrules are oriented to face and be positioned against the polishing surface. The method includes orienting an application device with a spray nozzle about 8 inches to about 12 inches away from the polishing surface, and orienting the spray nozzle of the application device at a downward angle of about 200 to about 300 relative to horizontal and the polishing surface. The method includes applying a fine mist of fluid from the spray nozzle toward the polishing surface to completely coat the polishing surface with the fluid. The method includes positioning the endfaces of the multi-fiber fiber optic ferrules against the polishing surface and polishing the endfaces.
