Summary:A system, apparatus and method for testing optical fiber systems by providing a near-end and far-end harness that loops the set of fibers in the fiber system together. The near-end harness has an interface to connect to the tester. The tester then effects testing on the entire set of fibers, which are looped together by the configuration of the two harnesses creating a single optical path that traverses the entire set or subset of fibers in the network, so a launched test signal propagates through the entire set of looped fibers, providing measurement results for the fibers. Un système, un appareil et un procédé sont décrits pour tester des systèmes de fibres optiques en fournissant un harnais dextrémité proche et dextrémité distante qui boucle lensemble de fibres dans le système de fibres ensemble. Le harnais dextrémité proche a une interface pour se connecter au testeur. Le testeur effectue ensuite un test sur la totalité de lensemble de fibres, qui sont bouclés ensemble par la configuration des deux harnais créant un trajet optique unique qui traverse lensemble ou le sous-ensemble de fibres entier dans le réseau, de sorte quun signal de test lancé se propage à travers la totalité de lensemble de fibres en boucle, fournissant des résultats de mesure pour les fibres.
