Cable Damage Prevention is the practice of protecting fiber optic and power cables from accidental cuts, strain, or environmental stress. NEC Labs America develops distributed fiber optic sensing systems that detect disturbances along cables in real time, preventing outages and reducing repair costs. Cable Damage Prevention supports reliable global communication and power distribution, making it a critical focus for both infrastructure operators and advanced research labs.
We demonstrate real-time fiber risk assessment and dynamic network routing in live metro networks using deployed DASs, satellite imagery, and large-scale AI, achieving the first significantreduction in fiber failures in four years
