<p>An apparatus for testing a multifilament fiberoptic cable includes a test box (20) adapted to be coupled to a known testing device (24) such as an optical time domain reflectometer, or OTDR, a connector with a ribbon of optical fibers (14), and a jig (22) adapted to selectively couple light from the test box (20) and the OTDR through the connectors to some of the fibers of the cable (28). Preferably, the OTDR is connected to the test box (20) by another connector. The test box (20) is arranged so that a length of the first connector may be coiled up and stored within it when not required. The jig (22) includes alignment elements used to assist a user in aligning the facing ends of the fibers in an abutting relationship.</p> |
