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

We had one do that in a splice case a few weeks back.  Just decided to break 
all by itself. Maybe temperature or vibrations did it.  Very visible fault with 
the VFL.

If I didn't diagnose it, I wouldn't have believed it.  1M SM 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.

I never would have believed a fiber patch cable would just up and fail with no 
external force.
