ITU-T G.979 (11/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication tec

12、hnologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Tele

13、communication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some a

14、reas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized o

15、perating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “s

16、hall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the p

17、ractice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation dev

18、elopment process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

29、rvision and remote maintenance activity. 3.1.2 optical fibre submarine cable system ITU-T G.972: A set of equipment designed to permit the interconnection of two or more terminal stations. The optical fibre submarine cable system is usually composed of terminal equipment (terminal transmission equip

30、ment, power feeding equipment, maintenance controller, etc.), and submersible equipment (cable, repeater(s), branching unit(s), etc.). 2 Rec. ITU-T G.979 (11/2016) 3.1.3 supervisory system ITU-T G.972: The whole of equipment and sub-assemblies commonly providing one or more of the following function

31、s: monitoring the performance of the submarine equipment and sub-assemblies; monitoring the performance of the system terminal equipment; monitoring the end-to-end performance of the digital line sections; enabling fault location inside the submarine plant, to within one repeater section, where poss

32、ible; controlling redundancy switching, if provided inside the submarine portion; providing interfaces to other management facilities. 3.1.4 terminal station ITU-T G.972: The telecommunication station usually located in the vicinity of the landing point and housing the optical fibre submarine cable

33、system terminal equipment and that of associated terrestrial systems. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 active monitoring equipment (AME): One of the two categories of monitoring equipment (ME) with the other being passive monitoring equi

34、pment (PME). AME monitors the status of submerged equipment by communicating with the monitored equipment to obtain a performance status. 3.2.2 monitoring equipment (ME): Equipment used to monitor the status of the submerged plant of a submarine cable system, which is classified into one of two cate

35、gories according to the monitoring mechanism: passive monitoring equipment (PME) with no communication between the submerged plant and the monitoring equipment, or active monitoring equipment (AME) which has communication between the submerged plant and the monitoring equipment. 3.2.3 passive monito

36、ring equipment (PME): One of the two categories of ME with the other being AME. PME does not communicate with the submerged plant, but monitors the status of the submerged plant by detecting optical/electrical paths, e.g., monitoring equipment based on OTDR/COTDR. To obtain a performance status, ret

37、urn paths within the submerged plant (described in clause 7.5 of ITU-T G.977) are necessary. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: AME Active Monitoring Equipment BU Branching Unit COTDR Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry CTE Cable Te

39、ral architecture Figure 1 General architecture of repeatered system Figure 1 shows the general architecture of a repeatered optical fibre submarine cable system with monitoring equipment (ME). Monitoring equipment should be deployed in each terminal station to provide routine monitoring for maintena

40、nce. The monitoring of system status could be obtained by periodically collecting performance data from a submerged plant. Also, for maintenance convenience, it should support or provide interfaces to assist fault location. Figure 2 General architecture of repeaterless system 4 Rec. ITU-T G.979 (11/

41、2016) Figure 2 shows the general architecture of a repeaterless optical fibre submarine cable system with monitoring equipment. Two different ways, shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, may be chosen to configure an MEs connection in a submarine cable system: In Figure 3, a terminal transmission equipment

42、 (TTE) is connected between an ME and cable terminating equipment (CTE) and monitoring signals and service signals are coupled within the TTE and sent to the submarine cable system. In Figure 4, an ME is connected between a TTE and CTE and service signals and monitoring signals are coupled within th

43、e ME and sent to the submarine cable system. NOTE 1 M denotes monitoring output interface to cables. NOTE 2 denotes the monitoring signal flow in the sending direction; the receiving signal is obtained from the other fibre. NOTE 3 This figure defines only one terminal station in the system, the othe

44、rs are the same as this one. NOTE 4 PFE used in repeatered systems only. Figure 3 Monitoring output from TTE NOTE 1 M denotes monitoring output interface to cables. NOTE 2 denotes the monitoring signal flow in the sending direction; the receiving signal is obtained from the other fibre. NOTE 3 This

45、figure defines only one terminal station in the system, the others are the same as this one. NOTE 4 PFE used in repeatered systems only. Figure 4 Monitoring output from ME As part of a supervisory system, MEs are commonly connected to MCs through management interfaces. 6.1 Reference points With refe

46、rence to Figure 3 and Figure 4, reference points should comply with the parameters specified for monitoring. Rec. ITU-T G.979 (11/2016) 5 At point M, a monitoring output interface needs to comply with the following parameters: probe light output power, wavelength and pulse width (for passive monitor

47、ing) modulation parameters (for active monitoring). 7 Characteristics of monitoring equipment 7.1 Passive monitoring In passive monitoring, performance is obtained by detecting optical or electrical signals. Probe signals are sent to a submerged plant, and the returned signals will be analysed to re

48、flect the systems performance status. For example, the backscattered light of the OTDR/COTDR described in IEC 61746-1 is detected and processed, usually as curves of signal intensity versus distance to analyse and diagnose system status. One PME monitors one direction performance of the submarine ca

49、ble system. To get bidirectional performance, a PME should be deployed in each terminal station. It is recommended that status changes in the probed optical paths, such as fibre breaks, variations of repeater gain and fibre attenuation or reflections, are monitored in passive monitoring. As passive monitoring obtains the system status indirectly, comparison with baselines is used in status monitoring. Status monitoring should use the same parameters as the baselines to ensure th
