Abstract
A system and method for automatic discovery of an optical cable route. The method comprises: a light source power meter automatically monitoring an attenuation value of an optical cable fiber core, the optical cable fiber core being configured in an optical cable route; when the power meter generates an alarm, determining a level of the optical power alarm and reporting the alarm condition of the optical cable route in real time; and a drive automatically searching for available optical cable routes to provide options of available optical cable routes for real-time allocation of services.
