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.
Claims23
