Predicting Fibre Breaks and Weak Points
By CoverTel Telecommunications Group
Network operators need a method to proactively anticipate a break in a fibre caused by excessive strain and weakness in a cable.
This is caused by weather and geologic conditions that are constantly changing the strain and temperature pressures on fibre cable. Using predictive measurements, a maintenance operations team can preserve the cable by relieving the strain or replace it proactively before transmission is lost.
