Summary:The test device of the present invention is configured to test the continuity and polarity of a plurality of fibers housed by a cable that extends between the multi-fiber connectors on either end of the cable. In its most basic form, the test device of the present invention includes first and second light sources; an optical splitter positioned between the second light source and the connector at the first end of the cable housing the plurality of fibers under test; and a receiver and configured for optical communication with the second end of the cable. The first light source creates a first light pattern, which is distinct from a second light pattern created by the second light source.
