Abstract
A system and method for tracing an optical communication cable and related traceable fiber optic cable are provided. The system includes a traceable optical communication cable that includes an elongate light emitting element extending along at least a portion of the length of the cable body configured to emit light radially outward from the cable body, and the light emitted from the light emitting element has a wavelength range. The cable body includes a plurality of spaced light transmitting windows separated from each other by a plurality of opaque fire-resistant sections. The system includes a viewing device having a light filtering element configured to pass light within the wavelength length range through the light filtering element and to block at least a portion of light having wavelengths outside of the wavelength range.
