We all know that the underlying transmission media of the current network are basically fiber optic cables. In order to ensure the stability of the network, the optical cable resources need to be maintained frequently. In the process of optical cable operation and maintenance, there are many maddening pain points.
Optical cable operation and maintenance pain points
Pain point 1: The optical cable is interrupted. Natural disasters, engineering accidents, tree growth, etc., can easily cause interruption of optical cable lines. Every time the fiber optic cable is interrupted, various emergency calls are made to limit the number of hours to repair the fiber optic cable.
Pain point 2: Daily manual inspection. Every time I do an inspection, I carry the equipment with a lot of record data, run a line, and test a fiber optic cable. In general, low efficiency, low accuracy, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Pain point 3: The huge number of fiber cores, especially the idle fiber cores as spare resources, lack effective monitoring methods and cannot grasp their health status. Every time you want to enable a new fiber core resource, you need to re-test it again and again.
traditional solution
In the face of the above pain points, the current traditional solutions mainly include the following:
Solution 1: Configure the optical line protection device OLP to realize automatic switching of fiber breakage. But the shortcomings are also obvious: the fault point cannot be located, and the health status of the fiber core cannot be grasped at any time.
Option 2: Use a manual handheld OTDR tester for inspection and fault location. The disadvantages are also obvious, requiring a lot of manpower, material resources and time costs.
Option 3: Configure optical cable monitoring equipment. However, a single detection device cannot locate the fault point, there is no service protection switching, and the monitoring method is very simple.
The innovative solution of Fibertone Technology
In response to the above problems, Fiberlink Technology has developed a set of optical cable intelligent early warning and monitoring system, which is an innovative optical cable line management and monitoring system. This system integrates various advanced technologies such as OTDR/WDM/OPM/OLP/OSW/GIS. The system organically combines the functions of optical cable early warning monitoring, alarming, fault analysis and positioning, line protection, and fiber core quality management. Line operation and maintenance provides a set of innovative and efficient solutions.
Main functions of optical cable intelligent early warning monitoring system
1.Automatic and/or manual OTDR testing. No more running around with a handheld OTDR tester. This system supports OTDR automatic test.
2.Real-time monitoring of optical power. The system also includes an optical power detection function, which can detect the optical power of each optical cable or each core in real time.
3.Optical line automatic protection switching. This system integrates the optical line protection function of OLP.
4.GIS geographic platform. The system comes with GIS geographic system, visual management.
5.The alarm message is automatically sent. The system includes powerful automatic alarm functions, such as abnormal optical power detection alarm, abnormal OTDR test result alarm, etc.
6.Report statistics management. The traditional OAM process is complex and the data is cumbersome, but this system can automatically generate reports and perform various statistical management, which greatly facilitates the operation and maintenance personnel.
The implementation of this system is mainly based on 5U hardware equipment and a set of powerful network management software.
At present, the fiber optic cable intelligent early warning and monitoring system of Fiberlink Technology has been widely used in many domestic government and enterprise private networks, such as power systems, water conservancy systems, etc.
