This study was carried out to validate the negative impact of vibration on a computer network
using optical fibre cables where the optical time–domain reflectometer (OTDR) of single mode
configuration was employed to acquire signal losses on the network. The losses were categorized
in three data sets such as that from a non–vibration (NV), a vibration source from a shaker and
generator (SHG) and another source combining the shaker, generator, and a truck (SHGT). The
impact of these results were compared on a column and area graph where we obtained a
superimposed effect combining all data sets in the area graph that the vibration sources from
SHGT had greater impact on the network as their reflected losses were -33.31dB, -33.29dB, and -
33.34dB respectively for NV, SHG, and SHGT. The results further confirmed that signal losses on
the network has a direct relationship with distance and also, vibration can as well help to
normalize errors arising from poorly terminated cables and correct some splice faults as number
of events an OTDR records are limited. This study also confirmed the possible use of this system
to investigate underground movements likely to be earthquakes or road failure signs.

INTRODUCTION
Among the enormous advantages of optical fibre cables,
its sensing capability have been employed through the use
of an optical time – domain reflectometer (OTDR) to
measure signal losses on a computer network built on
optical fibre cable by generating vibration from different
machines on the cable path of the network within a locality.
The OTDR which is a great device in studying the sensory
ability of optical fibre cable as used in this study applies the
reflectometry principle comprising Rayleigh scattering and
Fresnel reflection as its two basic physical principles in
actualizing these results, which would enable us
understand the impact of vibration that in most cases leads
to signal losses on a computer network of optical fibre
cables. The system (OTDR) detects the presence and
location of perturbations, which were affected by the
intensity of the radiation (light) returned from the fibre, but
do not respond to phase changes of the radiation (light)
hence, the authors have designed a phase – sensitive
OTDR to enhance coherent effects (Radim, Petr, et al.,
2015).
The OTDR is also capable of acquiring data for both single
and multimode optical fibre, but in this study, only the case
of a single mode has been considered. This implies that
sensors in itself have different types and definitions and we
have defined sensors in this study as a device that uses
optical fibre either as the sensing element (intrinsic
sensors) for single mode optical fibres or as a means of
relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics
that process the signals (extrinsic sensors) for multimode
optical fibres. In the former, optical fibres can be used as
sensors to measure strain, temperature, pressure and
other quantities by modifying a fibre so that the quantity to

be measured modulates the intensity, phase, polarization
and wavelength or transit time of light in the fibre. They
provide distributed sensing over very large distances. For
instance, temperature can be measured by using a fibre
that has evanescent loss that varies with temperature or
by analyzing the Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering or
the Brillouin scattering in optical fibre (Ghosh, Sarkar and
Chakraborty, 2002). While in the latter, they use an optical
fibre cable, normally a multimode one to transmit
modulated light from either a non – fibre optical sensor or
an electronic sensor connected to an optical transmitter. A
major benefit of extrinsic sensors is their ability to reach
places which are otherwise inaccessible as in the
measurement of temperature inside aircraft jet engines by
using a fibre to transmit radiation into a radiation pyrometer
located outside the engine. They also provide excellent
protection of measurement signals against noise
corruption (Ghosh, Sarkar, Chakraborty and Dan, 2006).
This study tends to validate the impact of vibration
emanating from different vibration sources and
combinations that could lead to signal losses on a
computer network using optical fibre cables.
Figure 1: Rayleigh scattering
Figure 1 above illustrates Rayleigh scattering, which is the
major loss factor in fibre optics. Longer wavelengths of
light exhibit less scattering than shorter wavelengths. For
example, light at 1550nm loses 0.2dB to 0.3dB per
kilometer (dB/Km) of fibre length due to Rayleigh
scattering, whereas light at 850nm loses 4.0dB to
6.0dB/Km from scattering. A higher density of dopants in
a fibre will also create more scattering and thus higher
levels of attenuation per kilometer.
Figure 2: Fresnel reflection
Again, figure 2 above defines Fresnel reflection, which is
like shining a flashlight at a window. Most of the light
passes through the window, but some of it reflects back at
you. The angle that the light beam hits the window
determines whether or not the reflection will bounce back
into the flashlight, your eyes, or the ceiling. More so, an
evident change in the propagation of light in optical fibre
makes light lose its property of total internal reflection
(Procedia Engineering, 2017).

Figure 5: Anritsu OTDR
The instruments were setup in such a way that three sets
of data comprising the respective signal losses would be
achieved according to the categorization below, which also
interpreted the readings obtained from the OTDR.
The first category is the non – vibration data set (NV)
where we assumed there were no vibration within the
premises in which the readings were obtained. A second
category was the subjected vibration on the optical fibre
cable from the combination of the shaker and generator
abbreviated as (SHG) and a final category was the
vibration combinations of the shaker, generator and truck,
which have been abbreviated as (SHGT). Each of these
three categories (NV, SHG, and SHGT) have been clearly
described below as the methodology through which this
study has been carried out. Though, for the first category
(NV), the OTDR was directly connected to the path or route
of interest on the network and its readings obtained, but
we ensured there was minimal obstruction of passer – by
vehicles within the vicinity to reduce the assumed natural
vibration of the environment to the minimum.
THE FLASK SHAKER AND GASOLINE GENERATOR
(SHG)
After the OTDR have been used to acquire the first set of
readings without vibration (NV) as assumed, a second set
of readings were also acquired from the combination of the
flask shaker and gasoline generator (SHG) of which the
generator was actually used to power the flask shaker. The
generator and flask shaker were positioned at about 2m to
the nearest splice joint, which was about 2m as well to the
road side of the central administration junction where the
field work for this study was concentrated. In essence, this
vibration source (SHG) was positioned at about 4m to the
road side (Note that the vibration source was mounted
directly on the optical fibre cable line). The axial or
regulator of the flask shaker was adjusted to the maximum
to give a possible greater degree of vibration impact.
THE FLASK SHAKER, GENERATOR AND TRUCK
(SHGT)
A third and final set of readings of this study were acquired
by combining the vibrations from the flask shaker, gasoline
generator and heavy duty truck (SHGT). The flask shaker
and generator was maintained at the same spot as in
section The Flask Shaker and Gasoline Generator (SHG),
whereas the truck, which could not directly access the
optical fibre cable line was stationed on the road at 2m
distance to the splice point (i.e. 4m to the flask shaker and
generator) and the truck was repeatedly throttled for a
period of about 10 – 15minutes at the spot while the
readings were being acquired and recorded.
THE OTDR (OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN
REFLECTOMETER)
The OTDR was used to acquire all the readings of signal
loss generated from the vibration sources and as well that
without vibration. Before taking the readings with the
OTDR at the patch or server room, the OTDR ports were
cleaned or sterilized with an alcohol as well as the fibre
cable connectors to ensure dust free surfaces that may
inhibit proper connection. After cleaning, the fibre cable
connecting the line or route of the network (i.e. the central
administration junction) was then connected to the OTDR
and router or switch, the OTDR was then configured to the
desired specification (in this case, only single mode was
available) and finally, the OTDR was engaged to record
the readings as used in this study.

Figure 6: Line graph of data set NV
LOSSES WITHOUT VIBRATION (NV)
The result of figure 6 above was obtained directly from the
data set of table 1, which represents same data set for non
– vibration (NV). The result indicated shows a progressive
signal loss over distance as light travels through the optical
fibre cable. These losses are equivalent to the event points
shown on the table (Table 1). Aside these progressive
signal losses over distance along the optical cable path,
the recorded losses also indicate splicing faults, bending
losses, reflectance loss on the cable. Marginal signal
losses, particularly the negative losses showed that there
were greater splice joint faults due to poor alignment, poor
or weak cable terminations, and avoidable bending losses
that could arise from poor laying of the polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) pipe carrying the optical fibre cable itself, hence the
curvy and sharp peaks on the line graph trace indicating
the various losses at each event point.
LOSSES WITH VIBRATION (SHG, SHGT)
Comparing with the result of fig. 6 above, one can observe
from figure 7 and figure 8 obtained from table 2 and table
3 below respectively that the line traces from the graphs
followed a similar trend, but in these cases as in fig. 7 and
fig. 8, there were fewer events recorded, which implies
fewer signal losses. Though the losses recorded from
these results were fewer, one can clearly see that higher
losses were obtained from these cases as well due to the
generation of vibration from the various combinations of a
shaker and generator on one hand and shaker, generator
and truck on the other hand. These vibration sources may
have eliminated some of the topographic challenges and
corrected in part the splicing faults, but still posed a greater
degree of signal loss on the network within the confine of
this study (Igwele and Ogobiri, 2018).
More so, the results of fig. 7 and fig. 8 respectively tends
to give us a better slope or gradient to illustrate the direct
relationship between the signal loss and distance, but we
could observe that fig. 8, which was expected to generate
a better result by this relationship due to the addition of the
truck as a vibration source to increase the degree of
vibration tend to be poorer making the results of fig. 7 more
preferable. This is because the truck size could not access
a closer proximity to the cable path as well as the
suspected splice joint within the field where this study was
carried out, rather the position of the truck created a
surrounding vibration against the signal loss, which lead to
more event points compared to the ones obtained from the
shaker and generator (SHG). Furthermore, the vibration
from the shaker, generator and truck (SHGT) showed no
significant difference when compared with the first two
results of fig. 6 above and fig. 7 below as this result fell in
between these two in terms of end – to – end loss, reflected
loss and number of event points.

COMPARED LOSSES FROM NV, SGH, AND SHGT
In order to validate the impact of vibration on a computer
network using optical fibre cable from this study, we have
directly compared the results of the above (fig. 6, 7, and 8)
with a column and area graphs as shown in figure 9 and
figure 10, which was obtained from table 4 above
respectively.
From the column graph (fig. 9), we have picked out the
losses in the three results measured (i. e. the results of NV,
SHG, and SHGT) and compared them against their
common distances of recorded events. By so doing, we
have been able to ascertain the final correlation between
the three results that the generated vibration actually had
impact on the signal losses and these losses increased
over distance as shown above from the three sets of data.
The isolated columns from the results of NV in fig. 9
according to the legend of the graph only indicated the
difference in the number of events recorded as the events
for NV were greater than those for SHG and SHGT.
To further buttress, an area graph was plotted with same
values where the various sources have been
superimposed according to their degree of losses over the
distances recorded. Here (fig. 10), we can see that at the
initial point of the graph, the data or losses from NV is quite
small, but as the distance progresses with a corresponding
increase in signal loss as compared with the others (SHG
and SHGT), an appreciable impact was seen from the
superimposed results combined from all three sources of
data set where the legends have been clearly defined next
to the graph and as the distance increases, it was seen
that the signal loss also increased according to the various
degrees of vibration.
CONCLUSION
From this study, we have seen that vibration really does
have a negative impact on computer networks built with
optical fibre cables as the above results showed that the
degrees of vibration took a progressive trend, which is to
say that the effects of NV was less than that of SHG, which
in turn was less than that of SHGT (i. e. NV<SHG<SHGT)
and an overall end – to – end signal loss of 3.90dB and
3.94dB as recorded in this study excluding other factors
such as splicing faults and vibration, may also mean that
the light intensity from the network was not enough to
propagate the data across the length of the cable. From
this study, we have observed that reducing the number of
splice joints to the minimum and properly terminating its
ends would greatly reduce the level of signal loss and help
one to better predict and investigate environmental
hazards or threats such as tsunami and earthquakes. For
such purposes, optical fibre cables could be properly
buried for easy detection of underground movements that
could lead to such occurrences. More so, better impact of
vibration leading to signal losses for this study can be
acquired when such vibration is generated and repeated
within 500m – 1km intervals on the optical fibre cable as
against the standard distance of 2km – 4km as vibration on
or within an optical fibre network can greatly affect the
signal loss arising from it.
Finally, there exist vibration limits for building structures
and human comforts and that one good degree of vibration
for a particular purpose may be bad for another, though
this was not considered in this study, but this study has
also shown that optical fibres can be used not only as
communication cables, but can as well be used as sensors
and the OTDR plays a major role in complementing the
sensing ability of optical fibres as it helps to acquire the
necessary signal losses.

Impact of Vibration on a Computer Network Using Optical Fibre Cables

M. B. 071 Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria 2Department of Physics, Faculty of Physical Sciences, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria This study was carried out to validate the negative impact of vibration on a computer network using optical fibre cables where the optical time–domain reflectometer (OTDR) of single mode configuration was employed to acquire signal losses on the network. The losses were categorized in three data sets such as that from a non–vibration (NV), a vibration source from a shaker and generator (SHG) and another source combining the shaker, generator, and a truck (SHGT). The impact of these results were compared on a column and area graph where we obtained a superimposed effect combining all data sets in the area graph that the vibration sources from SHGT had greater impact on the network as their reflected losses were -33.31dB, -33.29dB, and - 33.34dB respectively for NV, SHG, and SHGT. The results further confirmed that signal losses on the network has a direct relationship with distance and also, vibration can as well help to normalize errors arising from poorly terminated cables and correct some splice faults as number of events an OTDR records are limited. This study also confirmed the possible use of this system to investigate underground movements likely to be earthquakes or road failure signs.

INTRODUCTION Among the enormous advantages of optical fibre cables, its sensing capability have been employed through the use of an optical time – domain reflectometer (OTDR) to measure signal losses on a computer network built on optical fibre cable by generating vibration from different machines on the cable path of the network within a locality. The OTDR which is a great device in studying the sensory ability of optical fibre cable as used in this study applies the reflectometry principle comprising Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection as its two basic physical principles in actualizing these results, which would enable us understand the impact of vibration that in most cases leads to signal losses on a computer network of optical fibre cables. The system (OTDR) detects the presence and location of perturbations, which were affected by the intensity of the radiation (light) returned from the fibre, but do not respond to phase changes of the radiation (light) hence, the authors have designed a phase – sensitive OTDR to enhance coherent effects (Radim, Petr, et al., 2015). The OTDR is also capable of acquiring data for both single and multimode optical fibre, but in this study, only the case of a single mode has been considered. This implies that sensors in itself have different types and definitions and we have defined sensors in this study as a device that uses optical fibre either as the sensing element (intrinsic sensors) for single mode optical fibres or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals (extrinsic sensors) for multimode optical fibres. In the former, optical fibres can be used as sensors to measure strain, temperature, pressure and other quantities by modifying a fibre so that the quantity to *Corresponding Author: Minabai Maneke Igwele, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, P.

Impact of Vibration on a Computer Network Using Optical Fibre Cables Igwele and Ogobiri 088 be measured modulates the intensity, phase, polarization and wavelength or transit time of light in the fibre. They provide distributed sensing over very large distances. For instance, temperature can be measured by using a fibre that has evanescent loss that varies with temperature or by analyzing the Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering or the Brillouin scattering in optical fibre (Ghosh, Sarkar and Chakraborty, 2002). While in the latter, they use an optical fibre cable, normally a multimode one to transmit modulated light from either a non – fibre optical sensor or an electronic sensor connected to an optical transmitter. A major benefit of extrinsic sensors is their ability to reach places which are otherwise inaccessible as in the measurement of temperature inside aircraft jet engines by using a fibre to transmit radiation into a radiation pyrometer located outside the engine. They also provide excellent protection of measurement signals against noise corruption (Ghosh, Sarkar, Chakraborty and Dan, 2006). This study tends to validate the impact of vibration emanating from different vibration sources and combinations that could lead to signal losses on a computer network using optical fibre cables. Figure 1: Rayleigh scattering Figure 1 above illustrates Rayleigh scattering, which is the major loss factor in fibre optics. Longer wavelengths of light exhibit less scattering than shorter wavelengths. For example, light at 1550nm loses 0.2dB to 0.3dB per kilometer (dB/Km) of fibre length due to Rayleigh scattering, whereas light at 850nm loses 4.0dB to 6.0dB/Km from scattering. A higher density of dopants in a fibre will also create more scattering and thus higher levels of attenuation per kilometer. Figure 2: Fresnel reflection Again, figure 2 above defines Fresnel reflection, which is like shining a flashlight at a window. Most of the light passes through the window, but some of it reflects back at you. The angle that the light beam hits the window determines whether or not the reflection will bounce back into the flashlight, your eyes, or the ceiling. More so, an evident change in the propagation of light in optical fibre makes light lose its property of total internal reflection (Procedia Engineering, 2017).

  • 3. Impact of Vibration on a Computer Network Using Optical Fibre Cables J. Phys. Astron. Res. 089 Figure 5: Anritsu OTDR The instruments were setup in such a way that three sets of data comprising the respective signal losses would be achieved according to the categorization below, which also interpreted the readings obtained from the OTDR. The first category is the non – vibration data set (NV) where we assumed there were no vibration within the premises in which the readings were obtained. A second category was the subjected vibration on the optical fibre cable from the combination of the shaker and generator abbreviated as (SHG) and a final category was the vibration combinations of the shaker, generator and truck, which have been abbreviated as (SHGT). Each of these three categories (NV, SHG, and SHGT) have been clearly described below as the methodology through which this study has been carried out. Though, for the first category (NV), the OTDR was directly connected to the path or route of interest on the network and its readings obtained, but we ensured there was minimal obstruction of passer – by vehicles within the vicinity to reduce the assumed natural vibration of the environment to the minimum. THE FLASK SHAKER AND GASOLINE GENERATOR (SHG) After the OTDR have been used to acquire the first set of readings without vibration (NV) as assumed, a second set of readings were also acquired from the combination of the flask shaker and gasoline generator (SHG) of which the generator was actually used to power the flask shaker. The generator and flask shaker were positioned at about 2m to the nearest splice joint, which was about 2m as well to the road side of the central administration junction where the field work for this study was concentrated. In essence, this vibration source (SHG) was positioned at about 4m to the road side (Note that the vibration source was mounted directly on the optical fibre cable line). The axial or regulator of the flask shaker was adjusted to the maximum to give a possible greater degree of vibration impact. THE FLASK SHAKER, GENERATOR AND TRUCK (SHGT) A third and final set of readings of this study were acquired by combining the vibrations from the flask shaker, gasoline generator and heavy duty truck (SHGT). The flask shaker and generator was maintained at the same spot as in section The Flask Shaker and Gasoline Generator (SHG), whereas the truck, which could not directly access the optical fibre cable line was stationed on the road at 2m distance to the splice point (i.e. 4m to the flask shaker and generator) and the truck was repeatedly throttled for a period of about 10 – 15minutes at the spot while the readings were being acquired and recorded. THE OTDR (OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER) The OTDR was used to acquire all the readings of signal loss generated from the vibration sources and as well that without vibration. Before taking the readings with the OTDR at the patch or server room, the OTDR ports were cleaned or sterilized with an alcohol as well as the fibre cable connectors to ensure dust free surfaces that may inhibit proper connection. After cleaning, the fibre cable connecting the line or route of the network (i.e. the central administration junction) was then connected to the OTDR and router or switch, the OTDR was then configured to the desired specification (in this case, only single mode was available) and finally, the OTDR was engaged to record the readings as used in this study.

  • 4. Impact of Vibration on a Computer Network Using Optical Fibre Cables Igwele and Ogobiri 090 Figure 6: Line graph of data set NV LOSSES WITHOUT VIBRATION (NV) The result of figure 6 above was obtained directly from the data set of table 1, which represents same data set for non – vibration (NV). The result indicated shows a progressive signal loss over distance as light travels through the optical fibre cable. These losses are equivalent to the event points shown on the table (Table 1). Aside these progressive signal losses over distance along the optical cable path, the recorded losses also indicate splicing faults, bending losses, reflectance loss on the cable. Marginal signal losses, particularly the negative losses showed that there were greater splice joint faults due to poor alignment, poor or weak cable terminations, and avoidable bending losses that could arise from poor laying of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe carrying the optical fibre cable itself, hence the curvy and sharp peaks on the line graph trace indicating the various losses at each event point. LOSSES WITH VIBRATION (SHG, SHGT) Comparing with the result of fig. 6 above, one can observe from figure 7 and figure 8 obtained from table 2 and table 3 below respectively that the line traces from the graphs followed a similar trend, but in these cases as in fig. 7 and fig. 8, there were fewer events recorded, which implies fewer signal losses. Though the losses recorded from these results were fewer, one can clearly see that higher losses were obtained from these cases as well due to the generation of vibration from the various combinations of a shaker and generator on one hand and shaker, generator and truck on the other hand. These vibration sources may have eliminated some of the topographic challenges and corrected in part the splicing faults, but still posed a greater degree of signal loss on the network within the confine of this study (Igwele and Ogobiri, 2018). More so, the results of fig. 7 and fig. 8 respectively tends to give us a better slope or gradient to illustrate the direct relationship between the signal loss and distance, but we could observe that fig. 8, which was expected to generate a better result by this relationship due to the addition of the truck as a vibration source to increase the degree of vibration tend to be poorer making the results of fig. 7 more preferable. This is because the truck size could not access a closer proximity to the cable path as well as the suspected splice joint within the field where this study was carried out, rather the position of the truck created a surrounding vibration against the signal loss, which lead to more event points compared to the ones obtained from the shaker and generator (SHG). Furthermore, the vibration from the shaker, generator and truck (SHGT) showed no significant difference when compared with the first two results of fig. 6 above and fig. 7 below as this result fell in between these two in terms of end – to – end loss, reflected loss and number of event points.

  • 6. Impact of Vibration on a Computer Network Using Optical Fibre Cables Igwele and Ogobiri 092 Figure 10: Area graph of combined data set for NV, SHG and SHGT COMPARED LOSSES FROM NV, SGH, AND SHGT In order to validate the impact of vibration on a computer network using optical fibre cable from this study, we have directly compared the results of the above (fig. 6, 7, and 8) with a column and area graphs as shown in figure 9 and figure 10, which was obtained from table 4 above respectively. From the column graph (fig. 9), we have picked out the losses in the three results measured (i. e. the results of NV, SHG, and SHGT) and compared them against their common distances of recorded events. By so doing, we have been able to ascertain the final correlation between the three results that the generated vibration actually had impact on the signal losses and these losses increased over distance as shown above from the three sets of data. The isolated columns from the results of NV in fig. 9 according to the legend of the graph only indicated the difference in the number of events recorded as the events for NV were greater than those for SHG and SHGT. To further buttress, an area graph was plotted with same values where the various sources have been superimposed according to their degree of losses over the distances recorded. Here (fig. 10), we can see that at the initial point of the graph, the data or losses from NV is quite small, but as the distance progresses with a corresponding increase in signal loss as compared with the others (SHG and SHGT), an appreciable impact was seen from the superimposed results combined from all three sources of data set where the legends have been clearly defined next to the graph and as the distance increases, it was seen that the signal loss also increased according to the various degrees of vibration. CONCLUSION From this study, we have seen that vibration really does have a negative impact on computer networks built with optical fibre cables as the above results showed that the degrees of vibration took a progressive trend, which is to say that the effects of NV was less than that of SHG, which in turn was less than that of SHGT (i. e. NV<SHG<SHGT) and an overall end – to – end signal loss of 3.90dB and 3.94dB as recorded in this study excluding other factors such as splicing faults and vibration, may also mean that the light intensity from the network was not enough to propagate the data across the length of the cable. From this study, we have observed that reducing the number of splice joints to the minimum and properly terminating its ends would greatly reduce the level of signal loss and help one to better predict and investigate environmental hazards or threats such as tsunami and earthquakes. For such purposes, optical fibre cables could be properly buried for easy detection of underground movements that could lead to such occurrences. More so, better impact of vibration leading to signal losses for this study can be acquired when such vibration is generated and repeated within 500m – 1km intervals on the optical fibre cable as against the standard distance of 2km – 4km as vibration on or within an optical fibre network can greatly affect the signal loss arising from it. Finally, there exist vibration limits for building structures and human comforts and that one good degree of vibration for a particular purpose may be bad for another, though this was not considered in this study, but this study has also shown that optical fibres can be used not only as communication cables, but can as well be used as sensors and the OTDR plays a major role in complementing the sensing ability of optical fibres as it helps to acquire the necessary signal losses.
