I personally haven’t worked with fiber optic cables. But would love to know if they can be tested before any ends are put on. I’m not talking about a flashlight just to see if any are broken. It would need to be able to test the strength of the signal.

As it stands right now, it would take a person roughly 2 hours to install ends. That includes prep time, and installing 4 plugs on each end (8 all together). With hundreds of cables per sub, that can cost a lot. But at the same time, rerunning several cables cost a lot too...

Thanks,
KOT
