Abstract
A system comprises an internal optical switch, couplable to a plurality of fibers, configured to automatically select fibers in succession from the plurality of fibers for testing. An optical test module, coupled to the internal optical switch, is configured to generate or receive one or more wavelengths of light on each selected fiber of the plurality of fibers. A communications interface, coupled to the internal optical switch and the optical test module, is configured to establish a communications link between the system and a second system to test each selected fiber.
