A novel algorithm for faults acquiring and locating on fiber optic cable line

Abstract

Fiber optic communication transmission network is the basis for communication networks, responsible for a large number of long-distance transmissions of voice, data, images, and other business. Man-made construction, natural disasters and other unexpected events are important factors in fiber optic cable line blocking. Occasional and sudden onset also leads to the unpredictability of fiber optic cable line blocking. This paper proposes an algorithm for faults acquiring and locating on fiber optic cable line, which can effectively reduce search time and processing time of fault point, and establishes a fault point database. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
