System and Method for Mapping Multi-Strand Fiber Optic Cables

Abstract: a system and method for qualification, testing or mapping multi-strand fiber optic cables is for identification, mapping and troubleshooting of multi-fiber cables. the system and method may include a first end transmit device and a second end receive device. the first end transmit device includes at least one fiber port configured to engage a connector for an individual optical fiber, and optical light sources configured to emit an optical light in each of the fiber ports. a controller is configured to control the optical light sources to emit coded light patterns through each of the fiber ports. the first end transmit device emits coded light patterns into each of the fiber ports corresponding to a unique port signature of each fiber port. the second end receive device includes a camera configured to view and decode the coded light patterns to identify the unique port signature from each of the fiber ports.
