System and method for identifying fiber sequence in a multi-fiber optical cable

A system for identifying fiber sequence in a multi-fiber optical cable, the multi-fiber optical cable comprising a plurality of fibers, each fiber being connected between a front-port of a plurality of front-ports and an end-port of a plurality of end-ports;

• the system comprising:
• an OTDR device;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable media comprising a program configured to compare with each other a plurality of OTDR traces, each of the traces corresponding to a fiber of the plurality of fibers, and to determine a sequence of the fibers in the multi-fiber optical cable;
• wherein the multi-fiber optical cable is connected to a receiver comprising a plurality of receiver-fibers having lengths which are different from each other;
• and
• wherein each fiber is connected to a corresponding receiver-fiber.

A non-transitory computer readable media comprising a program configured to execute a method for identifying the sequence of fibers in a multi-fiber optical cable comprising a plurality of fibers, the method comprising:

• comparing with each other a plurality of OTDR traces corresponding to the plurality of fibers in the multi-fiber optical cable;
• determining a sequence of the multi-fiber optical cable;
• and
• outputting the sequence of the multi-fiber optical cable;
• wherein each trace of the plurality of OTDR traces corresponds to a fiber of the plurality of fibers and comprises an identifying marker of a receiver-fiber connected to the fiber.
