Abstract
An optical test cable has a number of independent optical fibers bundled in a cable between two break out ends beyond which the individual fiber strings extend color coded with optical connectors installed on their ends. The optical connectors are covered with dust caps. During a measurement cycle, a technician may alternately use the independent fibers to couple a light-metering device to tested optical connectors. Providing a number of fibers allows the technician to change from one fiber to the next rather than having to polish the output face of the cable's optical connector at the testing site. The optical connectors at one end of the test cable are configured for attaching to the metering device. The optical connectors at the opposing end are either configured for attaching to a number of adapters or for direct attaching to varying standards the tested optical connectors.
