Description

Technical Field

Background Art

[0002] With the development of optical fiber communication, optical fiber resources are used in every corner of society. In terms of access network lines, especially fiber-to-the-home lines, there are a large number of optical cables in outdoor, indoor and indoor and outdoor access lines. Due to different construction times and paths, a large number of optical cables are intertwined with each other, and as the laying time goes by, the number and complexity of cross-entanglement become more and more serious. Even if some optical cables have color, silk screen, identification color strips and other identification means on the surface, they gradually become ineffective due to ultraviolet light and climate aging factors, and each optical cable cannot be accurately identified and distinguished. Once the optical cable line fails, it is almost impossible to find the route of the faulty optical cable under the current circumstances, which brings great difficulties to the maintenance and replacement of the access network line.
