Claim 5:
6. A system, comprising:
a spectrophotometer camera;
a fiber adaptor operable to hold a single optical fiber of a fiber optic cable in a field of view of the spectrophotometer camera;
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:
obtain a color value of the single optical fiber in the fiber optic cable from the spectrophotometer camera;
compare the color value of the optical fiber to a color value of each reference color of a plurality of reference colors, wherein each reference color has a unique color value;
generate a color match score for the obtained color value of the optical fiber with respect to the color value of each reference color of the plurality of reference colors based on a result of the comparing, wherein the color value of each reference color is different for each reference color and the color match score has a score value;
obtain a confidence value for a pair of color match scores that are closest in score value; and
identify, based on the confidence value, one of the reference colors from the plurality of reference colors as a color of the optical fiber;
generate a ratio of two-color match scores having scores that most closely match a reference color value; and
assign the ratio as the confidence value.
