Abstract:
An apparatus for fiber optic testing is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus may comprise a plurality of fiber optic connectors for coupling to one or more fiber optic cables, one or more photodetectors operatively connected to the plurality of fiber optic connectors, an optical power measurement module operatively connected to the one or more photodetectors, a display for displaying information received from the optical power measurement module, and one or more user controls for accepting user input.
An Ethernet cable used with an Ethernet test-set allows a single connection to an Ethernet port of a network element while maintaining individual connections to separate ports on the test-set. The far-end of the signal path is a single Ethernet cable port having its transmit and receive pins interconnected. The far-end port interconnections cause a test signal which has traveled to the far-end port to be returned to the test-set and to be receive in a test-set port other than the originating port Two signal paths can be simultaneously tested with the same test-kit. Interconnections between the test-set ports by way of the cable maintain a “no-signal”alarm disabled, which otherwise would be energized because there is no signal being received in the port from which the test signal originated.
