ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for reconnecting a severed multi-fiber optical cable using random splicing is disclosed. Each of the fibers of a first cable section are randomly reconnected to each of the fibers of a second cable section and it is determined which fiber interconnects each of the first units to each of the second units and a reconnection database describing such interconnections is established. Using interconnection data of an original database, established prior to cable severing, together with the reconnection database, the connection of one or more inputs to the first group of first units are switched so that the resulting connections between those inputs and the second units are the same as the connections described by the original database.
