[0003] As modern network architectures continue to evolve, the complexity of fiber optic cabling has increased significantly. This complexity presents many challenges, especially in terms of manual management and monitoring.

[0058] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0060] like Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an online monitoring system for optical cable resources provided in an embodiment of the present application. The online monitoring system includes: a unit rack 11, a monitoring device 12, a hub 13, a substation gateway 14 and a management platform 15.

[0061] A head for reading and writing chips is provided on the optical fiber interface of the unit disk rack 11 , and a monitoring device 12 is provided on the unit disk rack 11 .

[0062] The monitoring device 12 is used to collect optical fiber port data of the optical fiber interface.

[0063] The so-called fiber port data usually refers to the various performance and status information collected through the fiber optic interface in a fiber optic communication system. It generally includes: optical power, signal loss, fiber link status, signal quality indicators, wavelength information, fiber interface connection status, and reflection loss.

[0064] Optionally, the reader / writer chip includes but is not limited to: an RFID radio frequency chip.

[0065] It is understandable that the monitoring device 12 collects the optical fiber port data of the optical fiber interface. Specifically, the monitoring device 12 determines whether the optical fiber interface is connected to the optical fiber by reading the RFID radio frequency chip information on the optical fiber interface.

[0066] Further, see Figure 2 The unit rack 11 includes: multiple fiber splicing trays 21.

[0067] Each fiber splicing tray 21 is provided with a monitoring device 12 , and one end of the monitoring device 12 is connected to one end of the hub 13 via an RJ45 connection line.

[0068] The hub 13 may also be a reader / writer.

[0069] Optionally, the fiber splice tray 21 includes but is not limited to an optical distribution frame (ODF) fiber splice tray.

[0070] It should be noted that in the construction of power communication optical cables, if two different optical cables within a plant station need to be connected, this usually means that the optical fiber ports on the two optical cables need to be connected through a jumper (also called a "fiber jumper" or "fiber jumper").

[0071] In addition, in order to monitor the access status of the ports on each fiber splicing tray 21 in real time, a monitoring device 12 is added to the tray cover of the fiber splicing tray 21, and a sleeve with an RFID radio frequency chip is put on the connector of the access optical fiber (that is, a monitoring device 12 is provided on each fiber splicing tray 21). The monitoring device 12 determines whether the optical fiber interface has been connected to the optical fiber by reading the RFID radio frequency chip information on the optical fiber connector.

[0072] Further, see Figure 3 The fiber splicing tray 21 includes: multiple groups of monitoring modules 31.

[0073] For each group of monitoring modules 31 , a read / write chip 32 , an antenna 33 and an indicator light 34 are provided in the monitoring module 31 .

[0074] The read / write chip 32 is used to identify optical fiber information; the antenna 33 is used to monitor the optical fiber interface; and the indicator light 34 is used to display the access status of the optical fiber.

[0075] It is understandable that a group of fiber splicing trays 21 is monitored by a group of monitoring modules 31. Specifically, the optical fiber interface is monitored by the antenna 33 of the monitoring module 31, and different access states are displayed by the indicator light 34, thereby obtaining the optical fiber access status.

[0076] For example, the monitoring module 31 includes 12 antennas 33, and the fiber splicing tray 21 includes 12 optical fiber interfaces. One antenna 33 monitors one optical fiber interface, and the light access status is displayed through the indicator light 34. When the indicator light 34 is on, it means that the optical fiber of the optical fiber interface has been connected. When the indicator light 34 is off, it means that the optical fiber of the optical fiber interface has not been connected.

[0077] Optionally, the antenna 33 includes but is not limited to: a radio frequency antenna.

[0078] One end of the read / write chip 32 is connected to a first end of the first main controller 35 , and the other end of the read / write chip 32 is connected to one end of the antenna 33 .

[0079] The first main controller 35 is used to forward the optical fiber port data.

[0080] It should be noted that the hub 13 includes a first main controller 35 , a communication device 36 , a power management device 37 and a first connector 38 .

[0081] One end of the indicator light 34 is connected to the second end of the first main controller 35 , and a third end of the first main controller 35 is connected to one end of the communication device 36 .

[0082] The communication device 36 includes but is not limited to: RS485 PHY.

[0083] A fourth terminal of the first main controller 35 is connected to one terminal of the power management device 37 , and the other terminal of the power management device 37 is connected to the other terminal of the communication device 36 . The common terminal of these connections is connected to the first connector 38 .

[0084] The power management device 37 includes but is not limited to: a DCDC BUCK, and the first connector 38 includes but is not limited to: an RJ45 terminal.

[0085] It should be noted that the monitoring device 12 on the fiber splicing tray 21 monitors the optical fiber interface by the RF antenna, and then displays different access states, i.e., optical fiber port data, through the indicator light 34, and then communicates with the hub 13 through the RJ45 interface using the RS485 standard protocol.

[0086] One end of the monitoring device 12 is connected to one end of the hub 13 .

[0087] The hub 13 is used to collect optical fiber port data and send the optical fiber port data to the substation gateway 14 .

[0088] Further, see Figure 4 The hub 13 includes: multiple communication modules 41, a communication device 42, a first connector 43, a second connector 44, an address dial switch 45, a power management device 46, a power supply 47 and a second main controller 48.

[0089] One end of each group of communication modules 41 is connected to one end of the second main controller 48 , and an input end of each group of communication modules 41 is connected to an output end of the power management device 46 .

[0090] The power management device 46 is used to reduce the high DC voltage; the communication module 41 is used to transmit data communication; and the second main controller 48 is used to forward the optical fiber port data.

[0091] It should be noted that the power management device 46 is Figure 3 The power management device 37 in the second main controller 48 is Figure 3 The first main controller 35 in.

[0092] Further, see Figure 5 The communication module 41 includes: a communication device 51 and an RJ45 port 52.

[0093] One end of the communication device 51 is connected to one end of the second main controller 48 , and the other end of the communication device 51 is connected to the power management device 46 via the RJ45 port 52 .

[0094] Among them, the communication device 51 is Figure 3 The communication device 36 in.

[0095] It should be noted that the hub 13 is connected to the monitoring device 12 via an RJ45 port, so as to enable data communication between the hub 13 and the monitoring device 12 and provide power to the monitoring device 12 .

[0096] The other end of the second main controller 48 is connected to the first end of the communication device 42, the second end of the communication device 42 is connected to the first end of the first connector 43, the third end of the communication device 42 is connected to one end of the second connector 44, and the other end of the second connector 44 is grounded.

[0097] The first connector 43 is used to transmit optical fiber port data, and the second connector 44 is used to transmit data between two optical cables.

[0098] It should be noted that the communication device 42 is Figure 3 The communication device 36 in the first connector is Figure 3 The first connector 38 in.

[0099] A first input terminal of the second main controller 48 is connected to an output terminal of the address dial switch 45 , and a second input terminal of the second main controller 48 is connected to an output terminal of the power management device 46 .

[0100] The address dial switch 45 is used to set the address of the hub 13 .

[0101] A first terminal of the power management device 46 is connected to a first terminal of the power supply 47 , a common terminal thereof is connected to a second terminal of the first connector 43 , and a third terminal of the second connector 44 is grounded.

[0102] Optionally, the voltage of the power supply includes but is not limited to: 12V.

[0103] A second terminal of the power management device 46 is connected to a second terminal of the power source 47 .

[0104] The other end of the hub 13 is connected to one end of the substation gateway 14 .

[0105] The substation gateway 14 is configured to report the optical fiber port data to the management platform 15 after receiving the optical fiber port data.

[0106] Optionally, the management platform 15 includes but is not limited to: a digital wiring system management platform.

[0107] Further, see Figure 6 The other end of the hub 13 is connected to one end of the substation gateway 14 through a network cable.

[0108] The network cable includes but is not limited to: RJ45 connecting cable.

[0109] It should be noted that since the installation location of the hub 13 is divided into indoor and outdoor, when installed indoors, the indoor cabinet can be powered by POE, and the hub 13 and the substation gateway 14 can be directly connected by a network cable (i.e., a wire).

[0110] Optional, see Figure 7 The online monitoring system further includes: an optical fiber conversion module 71 .

[0111] One end of the hub 13 is connected to one end of the fiber optic transfer module 71 , and the other end of the fiber optic transfer module 71 is connected to one end of the substation gateway 14 .

[0112] It should be noted that when the hub 13 is installed outdoors, the outdoor cabinet can power the hub 13 inside the cabinet, but there can be no electrical connection between the hub 13 and the substation gateway 14. Therefore, a fiber optic conversion module 71 (for example, an RS485 to fiber optic conversion module) is used for transfer to convert the electrical signal into a fiber optic signal.

[0113] The other end of the substation gateway 14 is connected to one end of the management platform 15 .

[0114] The management platform 15 is configured to store the optical fiber port data in a database when receiving the optical fiber port data.

[0115] It is understandable that the management platform 15 stores the optical fiber port data in a database, recording detailed information of the optical fiber port, such as location, connection status, usage, etc., for subsequent management and maintenance.

[0116] In summary, by installing monitoring equipment on the unit racks, collecting fiber access information through the monitoring equipment, and then collecting the fiber port information obtained by the monitoring equipment through the hub, the fiber port information is uploaded to the substation gateway, and the substation gateway reports the fiber port information to the management platform, which stores the fiber port information in the database. This monitoring system can automatically update the fiber access status in real time or periodically, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the data and promptly identifying fiber cable problems. Secondly, it can quickly process large amounts of data, which is much more efficient than manual entry or inspection.

[0117] Corresponding to the online monitoring system for optical cable resources provided in the above embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides an online monitoring method for optical cable resources, which is applicable to the online monitoring system for optical cable resources mentioned in the above embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0118] S801: Collect optical fiber port data of an optical fiber interface in a unit rack through a monitoring device.

[0119] The optical fiber port data includes but is not limited to the digital information of the optical cable, and the digital information of the optical cable includes but is not limited to: the name of the optical cable, the optical cable number, the A station (i.e., the starting point of the optical cable transmission), the Z station (i.e., the end point of the optical cable transmission), the optical cable type, the length, and the fiber core number used; each fiber core number corresponds to the screen (cabinet) number, the optical distribution unit (frame) number, the unit rack (reel) number, and the port number.

[0120] It should be noted that a communication optical cable connects two plants and stations. There are OFD splice trays (i.e. unit tray racks) in both plants and stations. The fiber cores of the optical cables in normal use will be spliced to the OFD splice trays, and the fiber core interfaces on the OFD splice trays will be plugged with fiber jumper connectors.

[0121] S802: Collect the optical fiber port data collected by the monitoring device through the hub, and send the optical fiber port data to the substation gateway.

[0122] It is understandable that the hub sends the collected optical fiber port data to the substation gateway for further analysis, storage or processing.

[0123] S803: When the optical fiber port data is received, the substation gateway is used to report the optical fiber port data to the management platform.

[0124] It is understandable that the substation gateway can report optical port data in real time. Through real-time data reporting, the management platform can promptly detect problems with the optical fiber port (such as failures, performance degradation, etc.) and trigger alarms or notifications to ensure prompt action.

[0125] S804: When the optical fiber port data is received, the optical fiber port data is stored in a database through the management platform.

[0126] The database includes but is not limited to: a digital optical distribution system database.

[0127] Optionally, all fiber optic port data can be centrally displayed on the management platform, and the information of each plant and station and each optical cable resource information can be displayed through the GIS system (geographic information system). By clicking on the plant or station, the status of the machine screen (cabinet) in the plant or station can be displayed, and by clicking on the screen (cabinet), the connection status of each fiber optic port in the screen (cabinet) can be displayed. The connection status can facilitate comprehensive monitoring and management of the entire optical fiber network.

[0128] Optionally, after step S804, the optical fiber port information can be queried from the database, so that it can be determined whether the optical cable is in normal use based on the optical fiber port information, without the need for manual verification, thereby improving the efficiency of optical cable verification. Therefore, another embodiment of the present application provides an optical cable monitoring method, such as Figure 9 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0129] S901: When an optical cable query instruction is received, the optical fiber port data corresponding to the optical cable query instruction is obtained from the database through the management platform.

[0130] The optical cable query instruction includes the optical cable transmission starting point and the optical cable transmission end point.

[0131] S902: Detecting the optical cable transmission start point and the optical cable transmission end point according to the optical fiber port information through the management platform to obtain a detection result.

[0132] It can be understood that the management platform detects the starting point and the end point of the optical cable transmission based on the optical fiber port information. Specifically, the management platform obtains the label status of the read-write chip connected to each optical fiber interface on the OFD fiber fusion tray of each plant station through the sub-station gateway of each plant station, and determines whether the optical fiber ports of the starting point and the end point of the optical cable transmission are connected to the unit tray rack based on the label status.

[0133] S903: When the detection result indicates that the optical fiber ports at the optical cable transmission starting point and the optical cable transmission end point are both connected to the unit rack, it is determined that the optical cable from the optical cable transmission starting point to the optical cable transmission end point is in normal use.

[0134] S904: When the detection result indicates that the optical fiber port at the optical cable transmission starting point and / or the optical cable transmission end point is not connected to the unit rack, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the optical cable from the optical cable transmission starting point to the optical cable transmission end point.

[0135] Optionally, after step S804, in the optical fiber operation device (in the optical fiber monitoring device), multiple sections of optical cables are connected to form a complete communication optical path. In order to ensure the normal operation of the communication optical path, it is necessary to monitor the use of the optical cables in the communication optical path. This can timely discover and solve potential optical fiber damage or signal attenuation problems, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of communication quality. Therefore, another embodiment of the present application provides an optical path monitoring method, such as Figure 10 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0136] S1001: When an optical path query instruction is received, all optical fiber port data is obtained from a database through a management platform.

[0137] The optical path query instruction includes an optical path; the optical path is obtained by connecting multiple sections of optical cables.

[0138] It should be noted that the optical fiber port data includes but is not limited to: optical path digitization information, which includes but is not limited to: station A, station Z, optical fiber equipment at station A, optical fiber equipment at station Z, platform, multiplexing length, number of fiber jumpers, and optical cable segment (all optical cables passed through a communication optical path).

[0139] S1002: Detect all optical cables in the optical path according to all optical fiber port data through the management platform to obtain detection results.

[0140] It can be understood that all optical cables in the optical path are tested according to the data of all optical fiber ports through the management platform to obtain the test results. Specifically, for each optical cable, the label status of the read-write chip connected to each optical fiber interface on the OFD fiber splicing tray of each plant station is determined, that is, the usage of the optical cable is determined according to the label status, and the usage of the optical path (i.e., the test result) is determined according to the usage of each optical cable.

[0141] S1003: If the detection result indicates that all optical cables in the optical path are connected to the unit rack, it is determined that all optical cables in the optical path are in normal use.

[0142] S1004: If the detection result indicates that any optical cable in the optical path is not connected to the unit rack, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the optical cable in the optical path.

[0143] It should be noted that the management platform can display the information of each plant and station, optical cable resource information, and the status of optical fiber equipment in operation through the GIS system.

[0144] In summary, the fiber optic port data in the database can be used to monitor the usage of optical cables and optical paths, identify abnormal conditions of optical cables and optical paths in a timely manner, provide early warnings and perform maintenance, and reduce downtime.

[0145] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
