Good day to you

The mentioned submarine power cum Communication (Optic fiber) cable of 20 km length has a outer sheath damage due to a Boat Anchor stuck and pulled the cable by 20 mtrs. The cable is still live and there is no abnormality is recorded. The underwater inspection shows a minor damage in the outer sheath of the cable. We would like to do online test od DiTest on the fiber to asertain the cable healthiness by measuring temperature of the cable at various locations, suggested by a testing company. It this test reliable or any other online test which can predict the healthiness of the cable. Request your valuable suggestion.

Thanks in advance

Ramesh
