Abstract
A fiberoptic cable tester includes a body having an inlet fitting, an outlet and a channel that extends between the inlet fitting and the outlet. A magnification and focusing assembly is mounted within the channel between the inlet fitting and the outlet. A fiberoptic cable end fitting is communicably interengaged with the inlet fitting and light is transmitted through the magnification and focusing assembly and the channel to the outlet. The light is projected from the outlet and against a target area to produce an image which is indicative of the condition of the fiberoptic cable.
