THE DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING FOR FIBER OPTIC CABLE FAULT DETACTOR IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Optical fiber technologies are crucial for delivering genuine broadband connectivity. Ensuring continuous service by monitoring and identifying fiber failures is essential, as any disruption can cause significant financial losses for telecom carriers. This innovation addresses the problem of service interruptions caused by fiber optic cable failures by developing an intelligent fault detection system. The primary objective is to create a system that accurately pinpoints the location of faults in optical fiber cables, thus saving money, manpower, and time. Utilizing ESP 32 and an IR Brightness Sensor, the system monitors the received light source to detect faults and integrates with the Blynk Application for real-time data analysis and remote monitoring. This approach allows repairmen to target only the faulty sections of the cable, reducing the need for extensive excavation. The benefits include reduced repair time, lower costs, and minimized manpower requirements. By enabling precise fault location and remote monitoring, the system enhances operational efficiency and ensures continuous service delivery. This innovation represents a significant advancement in maintaining the reliability and efficiency of broadband services.
