A summary of the 3 extra fiber bundles to use in case of emergency, in order of best to worst (so in the case that only 1 bundle needs to be replaced, use FB25)

Broken Y-Splitter on FB25
One suspect fiber on FB22
Hard to get a picture of the suspect fiber on a clear fiber bundle, but looks similar to this. The fiber is #3, which is also the maximum signal loss fiber at -71%, but it is still within the passing criteria.
Notes on FB12
Spreadsheet
Picture
Fiber #24 "glows" on both ends (only FSC side shown). Appears to be back reflection from a crack. Technically the bundle is passing, but this fiber is at -74% transmission. Planning to send this bundle to China.
FB# | Status | Comments | Average | Max | Full Sheet |
25 | Healthy | Broken Y-Splitter that was epoxied back together | -56% | -63% | FB25 |
28 | Healthy | ~6 inches short, had to cut connectors off and re-epoxy | -59% | -69% | FB28 |
22 | Healthy | Tests fine, but a fiber looks suspect (possible cracking?) | -58% | -71% | FB22 |
