If you had a write a spec you'd simply require "the use of a Optical
Fault Indicator or equivalent". Where the equivalent might well be a
phone camera :-)

Though personally, any fiber tech that ran cross-cabinet cable patching
without giving me a loss report would be going back to do that job
again. Testing will identify the correspondence of the ports.

In-pit CWDM equipment expects the Tx from the central office to be on
the lower numbered core. So that's the convention worth following for
something more complex than a within-building cross-connect.
