Fiber Optic Cleaning kit is one of the first things that comes to mind. I don't think any fiber technician should ever be without one. To ensure minimal data loss, optical connections must be kept clean and free of dust, dirt, and other contaminants. Fiber Cleaning kit will have everything from lint free wipes to different types of swaps. They also will include a type of fast drying, residue free cleaning solvent which removes organic and ionic soils. I would compare the Fiber Cleaning kit to a CSI's finger print kit which you would never leave the office without it.

Patch Cords/Jumpers are also something you should find in the tool bag. It is always good to have both single and multimode jumpers. A fiber jumper, sometimes called a fiber patch cord is a length of fiber cabling fitted with LC, FC, SC, MTRJ or ST connectors at each end. Fiber jumpers are used in the same manner as patch cords, to connect end devices or network hardware to the structured cabling system. It is always good practice to have a number of fiber jumpers available.

You can not leave out handheld optical testing equipment. One of those handheld devices would be an Optical Power Meter. A fiber optic power meter is used for absolute optical fiber power measurement as well as fiber optic cable loss related measurements. There will be different types of meters depending what mode, wavelength and connector type. Another handheld device you may find is a Visual Fault Locator. A Visual Fault Locator will allow a technician to quickly find faults such as tight bends, breaks and bad connectors. Optical Fiber Identifier is another very valuable handheld optical testing device. The Optical Fiber Identifier is used to identify optical fibers by detecting the optical signals being transmitted through a fiber cable. An Optical Fiber Identifier eliminates the need to open the fiber optic cable at the splice point for identification; eliminating the probability of interrupting service.

You will find all of these things and more in a fiber technician's tool bag.
