The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
See the Test section of the FOA Online Guide for much more detail. After fiber optic cables are installed, spliced and terminated, they must be tested. For every fiber optic cable plant, you need to test for

Fiber Optic Cables Technical Data
The sensing distance of bifurcated cables is measured with white paper (90% reflectivity). Other surfaces may be less reflective and therefore would have shorter sensing distances.
