Abstract(in English) An optical fiber line monitoring system is essential for reducing maintenance costs and improving service reliability in optical access networks. In this paper, to promote cost-effective optical fiber line operation, we proposed an extended automatic optical fiber operations support system(AURORA)with a remotely installed fiber selector. We suggested a configuration for extended AURORA and designed the dynamic range of the system. We confirmed that testing could be carried out on an extended optical network section of 10km testing by using extended AURORA when the optical trunk line was less than 15km. We also discussed the effect on the maintenance cost of optical fiber cables in access networks.We estimated that the annual maintenance cost for periodic tests in actual operation areas could be reduced by 30% compared with that of a conventional system.
