The system supports graphical display of resources accessed to the system, and users can configure and manage various resources intuitively. When the resource changes, the interface will be updated synchronously.
For the optical cable resource, the system can display the fiber core utilization rate, the service description of the fiber core, and the topology of the two ends of the optical cable.
The system automatically generates the optical cable routing topology in the GIS map according to the optical cable routing (line) data. At the same time, the system can identify the location of the alarm event in the GIS map, and the user can intuitively grasp the current status of the optical cable routing.
The system classifies and counts the data of all resources, and presents them in the form of charts and reports on the homepage. So that users can intuitively and accurately grasp the running status of the system and resources. At the same time, the home page supports multiple application functions, and users can easily call each resource.
The system supports the manual drawing of the logical topology diagram of the optical cable resource. Meanwhile, the system can automatically generate the logical topology of the optical cable according to certain rules based on the input data of the optical cable resource.

Core quality monitoring
Relying on the optical cable monitoring host, the system provides users with the functions of real-time monitoring, manual testing and periodic testing of fiber core quality, which can measure the overall loss and the insertion loss and return loss of each node in the line, and calculate the average loss of the line.
Real-time monitoring | The system monitors the optical power in real time, and when the optical power of the fiber core is abnormal, it will automatically initiate the test of the fiber core immediately. |
Manual test |
The user can initiate a test for a fiber core. |
Cycle test |
Users can set up periodic test tasks to initiate tests on specific lines in a fixed period of time every day. |
The optical cable monitoring host supports the optical line protection (OLP) service card. When the line fails, the system can automatically switch to the standby line and test the fault location to ensure the smooth communication line.
The user can grasp the operation status of the line in real time in the system interface, and can switch manually
In the engineering application, the optical cable monitoring host can monitor the idle fiber core or the service fiber core according to the requirements. It should be noted that when monitoring the service fiber core, the deployment of the relevant equipment of the optical cable monitoring system will bring an additional 2dB loss to the line as a whole, and the service needs to be interrupted for at least 2 hours during the implementation.
The optical cable monitoring host is deployed at one end of the line, and the OTDR test is started for polling monitoring after the fiber core is gated by the optical switch. Polling monitoring is the basic scheme of fiber core quality monitoring.
According to the YD/T 5066-2005 standard document of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the optical cable monitoring host and stable light source equipment are deployed at both ends of the optical cable. Two fiber cores are selected, wherein one fiber core is used for the optical cable monitoring host to monitor the optical power of the stable light in real time, and the other fiber core is used for automatically dispatching the OTDR to test the fiber core when the optical power is abnormal so as to find out the fault position, thereby achieving the purpose of real-time monitoring.
The optical cable monitoring host adopts the plug-in card design, and the light source board card can be configured on the host. Therefore, when the line is short, the line can be looped and jumpered, and the real-time monitoring can be completed only by deploying the optical cable monitoring host at one end of the line.
When the fiber core resource is in short supply, a combined wave and division wave board card can be configured in the optical cable monitoring host to couple the stable light source combined with the OTDR laser to one fiber core. This scenario also supports loopback deployment.
