Working Principle of Optical Cable Monitoring System
Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) is a technology fundamental to the monitoring of fiber optic networks. OTDR works by sending a series of light pulses into an optical fiber and then detecting the light that is scattered or reflected back to the device. Undergrounding power lines avoids exposure to strong winds, limits the cost of damage, provides a more aesthetically pleasing vista in areas where valued, and ofers lower fault rates compared to overhead lines. On the other hand, undergrounding is expensive and introduces new hazards such as. The Optical Fiber Monitoring and Management System (ONMS – OPTICAL NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) has been used as a standard within the set of diagnostic tools in all those companies that have an infrastructure (active) fibre optics several hundred kilometres long.
