Technical solution of optical cable intelligent early warning and monitoring system

Introduction

The optical cable intelligent early warning and monitoring system is an innovative optical cable line management and monitoring system.

Integrating various advanced technologies such as OTDR/WDM/OPM/OLP/OSW/GIS, the system organically combines functions such as early warning and monitoring, alarm, fault analysis and positioning, line protection, and fiber core quality management, providing an innovative and efficient solution for the operation and maintenance of optical cable lines.

1. Project background and demand analysis

1.1 Core pain points of optical cable operation and maintenance

1.1.1 High operational risk

Frequent interruptions: Affected by natural disasters (earthquakes/floods accounting for 52%) and construction damage, the annual failure rate > 3 times/100 kilometers

Difficult positioning: Traditional OTDRs require manual operation, with an average positioning time of 120 minutes and an error of ± 200 meters

Dumb resources are out of control: more than 75% of the idle fiber cores in the whole network have no effective monitoring methods

1.1.2 Defects of traditional OAM

1.2 Core requirements

2. System solution design

2.1 System architecture

2.2 Key technical indicators

2.2.1 Monitoring performance

OTDR module

Dynamic range: ≥40dB at 1625 nm

Test accuracy: ±1m + 0.005% × distance

Maximum monitoring distance: 250km (G.652D)

2.2.2 Protection system

3. Realization of core functions

3.1 Intelligent monitoring mode

3.1.1 Idle fiber core management

Monitoring plan: periodic rotation

Dual-fiber detection: real-time comparison of dual spare fiber cores of the same optical cable, abnormal triggering of OTDR test

3.1.2 Online Business Protection

Passive WDM technology realizes service optical separation monitoring

OLP automatic switchover process:
Optical power drop → Threshold judgment (-3dB~-30dB can be set) → Switching execution (<50 ms) → OTDR positioning

4. Typical application cases

4.1 Power system in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan

Deployment configuration Equipment: 8 OMP4000 hosts + 32 OSW boards

Monitoring range: 19 backbone optical cables, total length 386km

Monitoring mode: Idle fiber core cycle rotation (6 hours/time)
