Fibre Cables

[Ext User(Tony T)]

Hi Guys,

I have an issue thats causing me become a real problem, I work with one of
the major carriers. The issue is that our contractors are constantly
splicing fibres out in the field for new services, once the fibres have
been spliced the fibre path may sit idle fo anything up to 3-4 weeks by
the time the service has been commissioned and actually have traffic on
the fibres. In the mean time the contractors will be splicing fibres for
another path that my cross the last one at some point and because there is
no traffic on the previously built fibres and our records have not been
updated they cut off and use the same fibre,
My question is, Is there anything that can be plugged into either the
customer or exchange end that can send out simulated traffic so when the
technicians test the fibres with a traffic identifier in the field it
will indicate traffic, this device needs to be cheap as we will need quit
a few so they can be reused.
Any assistance is much appreciated, you can email me directly on
tiki4@optusnet.com.au with any solutions.

Regards
Tony

Are those words mutually exclusive?
