Abstract

A method of using an adjustable attenuation fiber optic wrap plug (“AAFOWP”) includes receiving initial data into a wireless module of the AAFOWP, wherein the initial data corresponds to an initial desired attenuation level that the first AAFOWP is to achieve. The method also includes moving, in response to receiving the initial data, an arm by an actuator to change a bend radius of an optical fiber wrap in the AAFOWP, thus adjusting an attenuation through the AAFOWP to the initial desired attenuation level.
