Abstract
We have shown a method of locating faults in fiber using a new Sidelighter module that easily connects to popular microwave analyzers. The Sidelighter can be used in the field as it is compact and battery operated. Using the Sidelighter allow users to test RF and optical cables in one system. We have achieved 10 cm measurement resolution and can located failures in fibers at distances of up to 1 Km
