Abstract
A device may receive, from a sensor device, cable distance data identifying cable distances along a fiber cable to vibrations experienced by the fiber cable, and may receive location data identifying locations associated with the vibrations. The device may correlate the cable distance data and the location data to generate correlated location data, and may store the correlated location data in a data structure. The device may receive, from the sensor device, data identifying a cable distance along the fiber cable to an alarm condition associated with the fiber cable, and may determine a location of the alarm condition based on the correlated location data and the data identifying the cable distance along the fiber cable to the alarm condition. The device may perform actions based on the alarm location.
