摘要
A method and apparatus for detecting a fault, such as a break or crack in a fiber optic cable. A test device transmits into a first end of fiber bundle under test a first pulse of optical energy. The time duration and/or intensity of the pulse propagating through the fiber after being reflected back through the fiber are determined and stored in memory. At a later point in time this step is repeated with a second pulse. If the propagation time and/or intensity of the second pulse varies by greater than a predetermined amount from that of the first pulse an alarm condition is indicated. From the propagation time of the second pulse a length is calculated and provided to the user. This length corresponds to the location of the fault.
