First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device, comprising:
- a plurality of identifiable visible light sources comprising a constant visible light source and at least one oscillating visible light source;
a switch selector operable to switch among the constant visible light source and the at least one oscillating visible light source; and
an optical fiber connector coupled to the plurality of identifiable visible light sources, wherein the optical fiber connector enables sequential application of at least two of the plurality of identifiable visible light sources to a single fiber optic cable fiber strand.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method including generating a plurality of identifiable visible light sources having at least one constant visible light source and at least one oscillating visible light source and selectively applying, such as one at a time, at least two identifiable visible light sources among the plurality of identifiable visible light sources to a fiber optic cable strand in order to remotely test a fiber optic cable having a plurality of strands including the fiber optic cable strand. Other embodiments are disclosed.
