I work with Fiber Optics these days (fiber sensing to be precise). I'd just come back from a survey and I was hooking up the field systems for testing back at the office when I found this bulkhead adapter on the front of a circulator box. Look closely and you'll see a piece of the Zirconia sleeve has broken off and is blocking the insertion path for the fiber cable. If I hadn't noticed this, I probably would have ruined whatever cable I would have tried to insert. Sometimes you just get lucky ...
