I ain't so little, and I'm old enough to call bullshit when I see it.

I would calm down, Miles. 😃 Dark fiber networks are built and usually
maintained by the same construction company that installed them. And a dark
fiber network does not even need a single full time optical engineer. If the
cable is damaged, then the guys who installed it will repair it. All the
expertise is there.
And no, I am not an executive at a undersea cable system. i was one of
Hibernia Atlantic's top salesmen during the early years from 2004-2011 after
which I retired.
Funny thing then, given that you signed your original query as:
Roderick Beck
VP of Business Development
United Cable Company
www.unitedcablecompany.com
<http://www.unitedcablecompany.com><http://www.unitedcablecompany.com
<http://www.unitedcablecompany.com/>>
And following the link to United Cable Company's web site reveals:
"Your source for the world's most distinctive submarine cable
assets."Â And the about page says "Its mission, as a leading
telecom consulting company, is to represent the world’s most
distinctive submarine and terrestrial cable assets."
Your original query asked:
Am I wrong in believing that there should be a way of lighting a single
pair in the cable and then monitoring it for signal disruption? It is not a
perfect solution, but arguably better than learning that the cable has been
damaged from an irate customer.
In a followup message you say:
Just to clarify, this is a dark fiber network already built and will be
repaired by the construction company that built it. I just a system to inform
them as soon as the fibers are damaged.
So... color me confused about who you are, who you represent, what
you're trying to accomplish, what you're asking, and, perhaps, why
you don't already know the answer to your question, or have
someone internal to your organization who already knows.
