ABSTRACT:
A kit for identifying fiber optic connections in a fiber optic cabling system comprises a plurality of indication optic terminators and at least one test light generator. The fiber optic system comprises a patching device, a plurality of ports furnished on the patching device, a plurality of outlets remote from the patching device, and a plurality of fiber optic cables for optically connecting the ports and the outlets. Plurality of indication optic terminators are attached onto each of the ports of the patching device. By using the test light generator to apply a test light to one of the outlets, the test light reaches a corresponding connected port of the patching device through the connection of fiber optic cable so as to make the corresponding indication optic terminator attached onto that connected port to light. Therefore, by repeating the process of distinguishing the light of the indication optic terminator one by one, all of the fiber optic connections between the connected ports and outlets can be identified. After completing the job of fiber optic connection identification, all of the indication optic terminators can be detached and kept for re-use.
