In my last full time gig, I had an OmniScanner II for Ethernet. It had an
option to add a Fiber tester to the device. The OmniScanner retailed for
about $8500 I bought it new in 2000 for $5000 and the Fiber option was
about $1500 and I didn't get one. It had TDR for copper and I am assuming

Still wouldn't point the output side of a fiber pair at my eyeball.

Can anyone recommend a quality Fiber Optic cable tester? Specifically
looking for one that can test single-mode and muti-mode LC - LC cables, but
it would be nice if it could test other types as well (SC, ST, etc).

installers that testing fiber isn't like testing copper. There's no

We just completed a Data Center migration and I have a whole box full of
cables that were pulled from the old location. These are mostly LC-LC cables
from servers to fiber switches. Nothing over 30 meters. I was just looking
for a device that would tell me whether or not the cables were still good
Can't you just shine a light through one end and see if theres light on the
other end? ;-)

Honestly, I'd never thought of that. Does it actually work? I guess my concern
is that it wouldn't identify all possible imperfections within the strand. I'm
no fiber expert, but my understanding is that light impulses basically bounce
down each strand
