B)OTDR
C)continuity tester
D)ohm meter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A multimeter and ohm meter are not designed to test fiber-optic cable as they are intended for electrical circuits. A continuity tester can test the continuity of a fiber-optic cable, but it cannot identify specific problems like bad splices or connector issues. An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) can generate and analyze pulses of light to detect and locate issues like bad splices, connector problems, and breaks in the fiber optic cable. Therefore, the best choice for testing for bad splices and connector problems on fiber-optic cable is an OTDR.
