Abstract

A method for testing the operation of an optical fiber cable in a communication network using an optical loss test set (OLTS) instrument includes receiving a range of identifiers of fibers to be tested. Identifiers of a first fiber set to be tested are displayed. The first fiber set comprises one or more fibers. The first fiber pair is included in the range. The first fiber pair is a next fiber pair to be tested. A determination is made whether the first fiber set is connected to the OLTS instrument. In response to determining that the first fiber set is connected to the OLTS instrument, a test of the first fiber set operation is performed using the OLTS instrument. Identifiers of a second fiber set are displayed. The second fiber set is included in the range and constitutes a next fiber set to be tested.
