Abstract
There is provided an apparatus for fiber optic line continuity detection. The apparatus comprises an optical input connectable to a first optical fiber of a fiber optic line, an optical output connectable to a second optical fiber of the fiber optic line an optical interface unit configured to transmit and receive optical signals; and an optical switch having a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration the optical switch is configured to pass optical signals received at the optical input to the optical interface unit and to pass optical signals received from the optical interface unit to the optical output. Whereas, in the second configuration the optical switch is configured to pass optical signals received at the optical input to the optical output.
