Method and Apparatus For Verifying the Termination Quality of an Optical Fiber Interface in a Fiber Optic Cable Connector

摘要

A method and apparatus for verifying the termination quality of an optical fiber interface in a fiber optic connector is provided. The test apparatus generally comprises a light source providing light to a test connector which contains an interface of a stub fiber of a fiber optic connector and a field fiber of a fiber optic cable. The portions of the test connector that are located between the optical fiber optic interface and the light detector are transmissive while other portions of the test connector located near the interface are highly reflective.
