Classification of Faults in Communication Optical Cable Lines
According to the interruption of the optical fiber of the faulty optical cable, the fault types can be divided into three types: complete optical cable interruption, partial bundle pipe interruption, and partial optical fiber interruption in a single bundle pipe. This paper provides a detailed overview of the fault detection techniques in optical fiber network with a background examining the types of faults as perceived by local monitoring centers known as Network Operations Centers. These faults can be caused by various factors, including construction activities, natural disasters (such as earthquakes or hurricanes), vandalism, or accidental damage. Causes of Faults in Communication Fiber Optic Cable Lines - UnitekFiber Solution. If the power lines are short-circuited or lightning strikes the metal parts, strong current will be generated to destroy the optical cable line.
