主权项

1. A hand held device for detecting faults on fiber optic cables, comprising:
a hand held probe having a photo detector, the hand held probe configured to receive an optical signal by scanning an outer surface of a fiber optic cable, the photo detector configured to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal; an analog to digital converter receiving the electrical signal from the photo detector; and a processor receiving digital signals from the analog to digital converter for detecting faults based thereon.
