Abstract: Mapping of ports to other network components is generated by physically bending a fiber optic cable and then determining which optical network terminals experience a signal power loss (or receive attenuated signals) based on the bending. The physical bending can be done using a bending tool and the optical network terminals that experience the signal power loss can be identified using a back-end database operation. Generally, the correspondence between the physical bending and the power loss at the downstream components and or upstream components of the network is used to create the mapping of the ports at the splitter level.

Abstract: Examples of a bending device to bend fiber optic cables to cause consistent signal attenuations. An example bending device may be a simple non-electronic structure with two pieces slidably attached to each other using a tensioning mechanism (e.g., a spring). The two pieces may define a curved groove with a predetermined radius of curvature. A technician may slide one piece against the tensioning pressure to expose the groove and insert the fiber optic cable. The curved groove bends the fiber optic cable, and the tensioning pressure maintains the bend. In one or more embodiments, one of the two pieces have a second groove defined thereon for bending a fiber optic cable of a different size.
