Patch Cord Connection Digitalization Solution
- 1. No service interruption, reducing cutover and troubleshooting risk
- 2. Fiber matching efficiency improves by 20-30 times
- 3. Resource audit accuracy can reach over 98%
As communication networks grow rapidly, patch-cord volumes in equipment rooms are exploding and traditional management can no longer cope.
The goal is to achieve precise identification and digital archiving of patch-cord relationships without interrupting service.
Industry Challenge
Patch-cord routing is extremely complex, making tracing and verification difficult, especially when labels are missing.
Resource records often drift far from the actual site, making troubleshooting difficult.
Red-light testing requires offline operation and risks interruption, while manual checks are slow, laborious, inefficient, and error-prone.
Solution Overview
NVS combines a fiber vibrator, fiber finder, and cloud platform to identify patch-cord relationships precisely and create digital records without service interruption.
The mobile app confirms the A-Z relationship, and data is automatically synchronized to the cloud platform to form a complete digital asset library.
Three-Step Process
Load the vibration signal: use the smart fiber vibrator at one end of the fiber to load a unique vibration identification signal.
Receive the identification signal: use the smart fiber finder at the other end to accurately capture and identify the vibration signal.
Confirm and upload to cloud: use the mobile app to confirm the A-Z relationship, then sync the data to the cloud platform.
Core Technical Principle
Fiber vibration precisely controls micro-bending in 0.01 mm steps to modulate the test signal without interrupting service.
The other end uses fiber-finding technology to detect the extremely weak light signal leaked by micro-bending, then demodulates it after million-fold amplification.
The app and cloud automatically bind the A-Z relationship, creating a fully digital closed loop.
Solution Advantages
A wireless standalone architecture uses a fully wireless fiber finder with built-in battery and Bluetooth for simple operation.
Compared with traditional wired host architectures, it lowers device cost and carrying burden while improving work efficiency.
It fundamentally avoids service interruption risk, reduces hours of work to minutes, and improves fiber matching efficiency by 20-30 times.
It effectively releases idle fiber resources, builds accurate digital asset records, and supports intelligent O&M and troubleshooting.
Applications
Scenario 1: online fiber identification without service interruption, quickly identifying service fiber and direction for activation, network changes, and troubleshooting.
Scenario 2: equipment-room resource digitization, surveying all A-Z relationships and accurately entering the data into the cloud platform.
By accurately identifying and releasing idle fiber resources, the solution revitalizes existing assets and builds a complete digital asset library.
Reference Case
Provincial mobile project: to improve equipment-room O&M efficiency, a provincial mobile operator launched a patch-cord digital management project. NVS won the bid and completed batch delivery and deployment, proving the solution and delivery capability.
