1. A duplex visual tester apparatus for testing multiple fiber optic cable runs, the apparatus comprising:
a housing having a first LED and a second LED;
the first LED and the second LED in electronic communication with a power source, a battery, and a timer configured to pulse the first LED and the second LED;
a switch configured to activate the first LED and the second LED when a first fiber optic cable is in visual communication with the first LED, and a second fiber optic cable is in visual communication with the second LED;
the first LED having a first color and the second LED having a second, different color; and
a duplex fiber connection configured to hold the first fiber optic cable proximal the first LED and hold the second fiber optic cable proximal the second LED.
