Abstract
A technician's tool for installing and repairing fiber optic cables includes a tubular housing having an open, substantially bell-shaped head portion at an upper end. Positioned within the housing, proximal the bell-shaped head portion, is a light source with a lens superimposed thereon. The lens is divided into a plurality of adjacent sectors whereby every other sector is transparent while each sector therebetween is discretely colored. Rotatably mounted over the lens is a receiver plate with a plurality of hollow receiver posts extending therefrom; each receiver post is adapted to connect to a fiber optic cable connector. By rotating the receiver plate, the technician can either project white light beams or discretely colored light beams through the receiver posts, depending upon the application.
