Abstract :
This article analyzes suggestions for availability improvement of optical cables. There are two different suggestions: to decrease numbers of failures increase mean time to failure and decrease mean time of repair of optical cable. The data, which are used in this article, are the result of attendance to failure rate during several years exploitation of optical cables in SDH network HPT d.o.o. Mostar. Based on the data about failure rates, unavailability and mean down times of optical cables are made and suggestions for availability improvement given.
