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.

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 (<50ms) → OTDR positioning
