Submarine optical cables carry over 99% of intercontinental communications, making uptime critical for global connectivity. As demand surges—driven by hyperscalers, data center expansion, and next-generation wet plant technologies—network operators face mounting challenges from environmental hazards, mechanical damage, and the high costs of deep-sea repairs. This white paper explores how Coherent OTDR (C-OTDR) technology, and specifically the Anritsu MW90010B, delivers the long-range precision, sensitivity, and in-service monitoring essential to safeguard performance. From pinpointing amplifier faults to enabling predictive maintenance and reducing costly outages, discover how advanced C-OTDR empowers operators to protect critical infrastructure, maximize capacity, and ensure uninterrupted service.
