An apparatus for fiber optic network testing includes a housing configured and adapted to couple to a mobile device and one or more network interfaces in communication with the housing. The one or more network interfaces are configured and adapted to operatively couple to a terminal end of a fiber optic cable. The apparatus also includes a magnification lens in operative communication with the housing and the one or more network interfaces.

System and apparatus for inspecting fiber optic cables

A method for detecting passive intermodulation (PIM) using a PIM analyzing device is provided. The PIM analyzing device transmits two signals comprising first and second signals over a signal transmission medium. The PIM analyzing device receives reflected signals associated with the transmitted signals. The PIM analyzing device determines whether the frequencies of the received signals correspond to the calculated PIM signal frequencies.

Pocket-size PIM inspector

A prequalification determination is made on a DSL line to predict the bit rate improvement that might be accomplished by implementation of vectoring, providing information to use in determining whether or not to implement vectoring. Overall noise is measured on the line, along with FEXT noise, and the FEXT noise is subtracted from the overall noise, and the resulting value is employed to determine a predicted bit rate, providing an indication of the potential bit rate if vectoring is implemented.

Prequalification of vectoring before implementation

A fiber end-surface inspection device and method illuminates the fiber end-surface from at least 2 different illumination angles, taking observations at the different angles, for detection of fiber end-surface imperfections, scratches or the like.

Multi-light fiber source for fiber end-surface inspection

A fault detector for fiber optic cabling is provided in a hand held device for detecting fiber faults, presence/absence of signal and wavelength of light present on an optical fiber. Audible and visual indicators of the fault/status and wavelength are provided.
