Low cost optical subscriber systems and effective operation are indispensable to the construction and maintenance of greatly expanded optical fiber networks. An optical fiber line monitoring system is essential for reducing maintenance costs and improving service reliability in optical access networks. To promote cost-effective optical fiber line operation, we propose an extended automatic optical fiber operations support system (AURORA) with a remotely installed fiber selector. We suggest a configuration for extended AURORA and design the dynamic range of the system. We confirmed that testing could be carried out on an extended optical network section of 10 km in length by using extended AURORA when the optical trunk line was less than 15 km. We also discuss the effect on the maintenance cost of optical fiber cables in access networks. We calculated the annual maintenance cost for periodic tests in actual operation areas, and confirmed that this cost could be reduced by 30% compared with that for a conventional system.
