ABSTRACT:
Possible microbending of individual fibers (14.sub.1 and 142.sub.2) within a fiber optic cable (12) is detected by monitoring each fiber as well as each piece of equipment (16.sub.1, 16.sub.2, 18.sub.1 and 18.sub.2) connected to it. Should there exist multiple failed fibers under the condition that the equipment pieces associated with each failed fiber are operational; then a possible microbending condition is signaled.
