Abstract The installation of 52304 optical links for the readout and control of the CMS Tracker, ECAL and Pixel detectors is complete. 768 96-way optical cables were installed and tested using an optical time-domain reflectometer. The testing was followed by connections at high density optical fibre patchpanels. Finally, a further round of testing and troubleshooting following feedback from system commissioning with the Tracker Data Acquisition was carried out. Over 90% of the faults found were recovered, resulting overall in only 0.1% of dead optical link channels in the CMS Tracker.
