Trace the evolution from open submarine cables to open cable management and examine the key considerations involved in building an open cable management approach. Review the role of APIs, important interface-development considerations, the structure of an open cable data model, and northbound interface requirements. Implementation examples for JSON data description models and REST-based open APIs illustrate how open cable management concepts can be applied. The discussion then turns to standardization through SubOptic working group guidelines and the operational value of integrating wet plant data and monitoring into unified, end-to-end network management.
