PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an array connector test harness for single-ended optical test instruments.SOLUTION: A system, apparatus and method are for testing optical fiber systems by providing a near-end harness 30 and a far-end harness 32 that loop a set of fibers in a fiber system together. The near-end harness has an interface to connect to a tester. The tester then effects testing on the entire set of fibers, which are looped together by the configuration of the two harnesses creating a single optical path that traverses the entire set or subset of fibers in the network, so a launched test signal propagates through the entire set of looped fibers, providing measurement results for the fibers. |
