ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Possible microbending of individual fibers (14 1,and 14 2) within a fiber optic cable (12) is detected by monitoring each fiber as well as each piece of equipment (16 1, 16 2, 18 1 and 18 2) connected to it. Should there exist multiple failed fibers under the condition that the equipment pieces associated with each failed fiber are operational; then a possible microbending condition is signaled.

Cette invention concerne un moyen de détection des microcourbures des fibres individuelles (14 1et 14 2) d'un câble à fibres optiques (12) par contrôle de chacune des fibres ainsi que de toute pièce d'équipement (16 1, 16 2, 18 1 et 18 2) y raccordé. S'il y a plusieurs fibres inopérantes associées à des pièces d'équipement qui fonctionnent toujours, un signal de microcourbure possible est envoyé.
