Week 9 Homework - Fiber Optic Testing

There are many different ways to test your fiber optic cables -- continuity testers, visual fault locators, optical return loss test sets, light source and optical power meters. In 1 page, detail each of these different testers.  Describe what each is testing for, along with possible causes for any degradation or discrepancies.  For instance, a continuity tester is a low-cost tool that allows you to quickly verify the continuity of an optical cable.  It is adept in testing for breaks, though it doesn’t have the power to determine the location of a break.

If you would prefer to present this as a list with bullets following each tester, that will be fine.

Submission Requirements

Submit a 1 page Word document; double-spaced; Times New Roman 12 pt font. Cite all sources used.
