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.

<p>Well that's easy - any halfway decent networking gear will detect
when a link goes down, and reporting that to a monitoring system.�
The hard part is locating the cable break, so you can fix it - not
detecting it in the first place.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>And... parenthetically, if a single link failure impacts
customers, you're network is woefully badly designed. <br>
