A system for identifying and verifying a fibre-optic connection in a communication network interconnecting by optical fibres a plurality of optical termination devices with respective terminations grouped within a remote pooling point, wherein an optical fibre extends between a device located at a first end of the fibre and a termination located at a second, opposite, end of the fibre, wherein the system comprises: - at the first end, a light source, coupled to the device and adapted to generate an incident radiation of coherent light, injected into the fibre at the first end; and - at the remote pooling point, a light sensor (34, 48) sensitive to a received radiation, scattered by the fibre at the second end, characterized in that: a) the light source is adapted to generate the incident radiation over a wavelength in the near infrared and not to generate a radiation over wavelengths in the visible domain, b) the light source is a Class 1 or 1M source according to IEC 60825-1, 3.0 edition, c) the light sensor (34, 48) is devoid of anti-IR optical filter and is sensitive to said wavelength in the near infrared, and d) the light sensor (34, 48) further includes a visualization interface adapted to transform an image of the pooling point formed in the near infrared into an image in the visible domain directly observable by an operator using the light sensor. wherein an optical fibre extends between a device located at a first end of the fibre and a termination located at a second, opposite, end of the fibre, wherein the system comprises: - at the first end, a light source, coupled to the device and adapted to generate an incident radiation of coherent light, injected into the fibre at the first end; and - at the remote pooling point, a light sensor (34, 48) sensitive to a received radiation, scattered by the fibre at the second end, - at the first end, a light source, coupled to the device and adapted to generate an incident radiation of coherent light, injected into the fibre at the first end; and - at the remote pooling point, a light sensor (34, 48) sensitive to a received radiation, scattered by the fibre at the second end, characterized in that: a) the light source is adapted to generate the incident radiation over a wavelength in the near infrared and not to generate a radiation over wavelengths in the visible domain, b) the light source is a Class 1 or 1M source according to IEC 60825-1, 3.0 edition, c) the light sensor (34, 48) is devoid of anti-IR optical filter and is sensitive to said wavelength in the near infrared, and d) the light sensor (34, 48) further includes a visualization interface adapted to transform an image of the pooling point formed in the near infrared into an image in the visible domain directly observable by an operator using the light sensor. a) the light source is adapted to generate the incident radiation over a wavelength in the near infrared and not to generate a radiation over wavelengths in the visible domain, b) the light source is a Class 1 or 1M source according to IEC 60825-1, 3.0 edition, c) the light sensor (34, 48) is devoid of anti-IR optical filter and is sensitive to said wavelength in the near infrared, and d) the light sensor (34, 48) further includes a visualization interface adapted to transform an image of the pooling point formed in the near infrared into an image in the visible domain directly observable by an operator using the light sensor.
