Greeting,
I would like to receive your comments on the following questions.
What is a typical range for fiber failure rate? Is it safe to assume that it is
around 500 FITS per mile (or 5e-7 failures/mile/hour)? Secondly, is it just the
fiber cut the main source for fiber failure? If you know any
document/paper/page that discusses the above you would kindly let me know.
Thank you.
