Abstract: An optical fiber testing device (300) being plugged into a port at which optical signals including communication and test signals within different wavelength bands being received, comprises an optical connector (304) including a plug body surrounding a ferrule holding an optical fiber (301) and a reflector component (326) carried with the optical connector (304). The reflector component (326) is optically coupled to the rear of the optical fiber and reflects the test signal. A method for testing an optical fiber, comprises removably securing a reusable ruggedized optical fiber testing device to a ruggedized port of an optical fiber terminal to optically couple to an optical fiber under test, transmitting a test signal over the optical fiber under test, and using the reflector component to return the test signal over the optical fiber under test when receiving the test signal.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable products for estimating one or more performance characteristics associated with a routing path of an optical fiber. A visual image of a routed fiber is obtained. The visual image is mapped to generate a tracer curve that estimates the routing path. The tracer curve is analyzed to determine one or more characteristics of a fiber routed along the routing path, such as a failure probability over a period of time or a signal loss due to bends in the fiber.
