Put the patch cable on the VFL, nothing showed up. Light came out the
other end, no spots along the cable unless I bent it tight. I'll just
mark it up to the fiber demons.

100% chance the VFL finds something. Light is light - be it a red
blinker or SFP blink.

Maybe I should go pull it out of the garbage and put the VFL on it to
see if there's anything

fiber Patch cable installed in a rack between router and a
switch. Link went down at exactly noon. Router had no link,
switch showed link. Replaced both SFP's with no change. Reversed
patch cable and link came up. Put back to original, no link.
Threw that cable in the garbage and put in a new one. I have a
camera looking at the front of this rack. Nothing moved when the
link went down, I can see the link light turn off on the router
when it failed.
