Hi, My colleague and I may be running a new dark fiber network in the Northeast. We need an outsourced NOC to monitor for fiber cuts and serve as a contact point for customers. Am I wrong in believing that there should be a way of lighting a single pair in the cable and then monitoring it for signal disruption? It is not a perfect solution, but arguably better than learning that the cable has been damaged from an irate customer. Best to take any replies off the message board. Thanks. Regards, Roderick.
