Title:
PATH SWITCHING APPARATUS AND PATH SWITCHING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/054614
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to provide a path switching apparatus capable of continuing communication by operation corresponding to the state of occurrence of a failure, this path switching apparatus is configured to be provided with a first switching device 1, a second switching device 2, a detection circuit 3, and a control circuit 4. The first switching device 1 switches, using a first switch, connection between a first submarine cable and either a predetermined optical path or a third submarine cable connected to an optical branching/insertion device. The second switching device 2 switches, using a second switch, connection between a second submarine cable and either the predetermined optical path connected to the first switch or the third submarine cable connected to the optical branching/insertion device. The detection circuit 3 detects the state of an optical signal inputted via the third submarine cable. The control circuit 4 controls switching of the switches on the basis of electric power supplied through the first submarine cable or the second submarine cable. The control circuit 4 controls the switches on the basis of the state of detection of an optical signal.
