Description: This feature class stores the geographic location of a fault event on a fiber optic cable. Not all faults need to be marked with a fault feature, because some are quickly repaired. There are some cases in which damage to a cable is not so severe that an immediate repair needs to be made. This is a situation where it would be good to store the location of a damaging event so that it can be monitored for future degradation.Fault locations can be used for tracking warranty issues with fiber optic cables, but these are rare cases. Fiber optic cables are much less likely to fail due to manufacturing issues, compared to underground electrical conductors. Most fault events are the result of an external force such as construction crews digging them up, animals chewing cables, vandalism or even the rare gun shot to a cable. This is not a required object and can be removed from the model if it does not provide value to an organization.

Description: This object is placed in the model to show that fiber optic features should be related to structure (poles, towers, vaults, manholes, handholes, pedestals, etc.). If a GIS system already has structure features captured (such as an electric distribution system), then this object as well as its related domains and relationships can be deleted from the model. Relationships to the existing structure features should be established once the data model is imported into the geodatabase.
