Abstract
A proposed modification to the component geometry of a fibre amplifier repeater which allows on on-board cable fault location facility to be incorporated is reported. The measurement technique, based on OTDR, allows cable breaks in the section of optical fibre between two fibre amplifier repeaters to be located.
