Patent ID: 6888996

Claim:
A kit for identifying fiber optic connections in a fiber optic cabling system, said fiber optic system comprising a patching means, a plurality of ports furnished on the patching means, a plurality of outlets remote from the patching means, and a plurality of fiber optic cables for optically connecting the ports and the outlets, said kit comprising: a plurality of indication optic terminators for attachment onto the ports of the patching means; and a test light generator for applying a test light to at least one of the outlets; wherein said test light applied at the outlet reaches a corresponding connected port of the patching means through the connection of fiber optic cable and causes a corresponding indication optic terminator attached onto that connected port to light; wherein each of the indication optic terminators further comprises: an attaching means attachable to the port and being able to receive test light from the test light generator, the attaching means being merely a rod-shaped structure in a shape just capable of being plugged into the port, the attaching means having a length longer than the depth of the port; a short-length optic fiber furnished in a center of the attaching means for the test light received by the attaching means to transmit through; and a hemisphere-shaped structure formed at one end of the short-length optic fiber and made of transparent material for dispersing test light transmitted by the short-length optic fiber so as to make the test light visible.
