An OTDR dataset for optical fiber monitoring

The monitored data is obtained using the optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) principle, which is commonly used for troubleshooting fiber optic cables or links. The data set contains raw OTDR traces that include one or two reflective events caused by the placement of one or two reflectors and/or an open physical contact (PC) at the end of the monitored optical fiber link. The data can be used to solve fiber fault management problems in optical communication systems (e.g., link integrity check, reflective event detection, localization, characterization, and so on).

本数据集所采用的监测数据基于光时域反射仪（optical time domain reflectometry, OTDR）原理获取，该技术常被用于光缆或光纤链路的故障排查。数据集包含原始OTDR轨迹数据，其中存在1至2次反射事件，此类事件的成因包括1个或2个反射器的布设，或是监测光纤链路末端的开放式物理接触（open physical contact, PC），或二者共同作用。该数据可用于解决光通信系统中的光纤故障管理相关问题，例如链路完整性检测、反射事件检测、定位以及特征表征等任务。
