Fluke networks have demonstrated, with a sample of one, what is possible from an SC/APC connector pair after repeated matings/de-matings, if done in a clean environment. For more information visit http://www.flukenetworks.com/blog/cabling-chronicles/clean-cords-are-reliable-cords
For any outlier that appeared, cleaning restored the next measurement to the measurement prior to the outlier data point. Testing stopped after 5000 matings which took several days.
Since the sample size was “one”, by no means do these measurements represent all connector performance. However, the measurements on one sample do provide some insight into what you might expect from your connectors if they are cared for. So, protect your investment and keep your connectors clean. Your launch cords will thank you.
