We propose switching equipment that employs a bent fiber and its application for changing optical cables in an access network. This equipment reduces the length of the interruption in the transmission between an optical line terminal (OLT) and an optical network unit (ONU) during construction work. We designed the equipment with communication light injection and detection technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
