Especially in the field of power communication, the reliability and stability of optical cables are vital to the safe operation of power systems. Therefore, the inspection and maintenance of optical cables are particularly important. As a key component in optical fiber communication, the performance of the fiber core directly affects communication quality. Traditional optical fiber testing devices typically require testing each fiber individually, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and easily damaged during transportation and storage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, convenient optical fiber testing device that can comprehensively protect the testing equipment, especially suitable for multi-fiber testing scenarios.

The rubber pad 205 between the clamping parts 203 and the fiber core testing equipment 1 can prevent damage to the surface of the equipment and also play a certain buffering role.
