Abstract
In some implementations, a device may obtain responsivity data for segments of a fiber optic cable. The device may receive, from a sensor device, vibration data associated with the fiber optic cable, the vibration data being produced by a vibration source in or on soil associated with the fiber optic cable. The device may normalize, based on the responsivity data, the vibration data. The device may determine, based on the normalized vibration data, a distance of the vibration source from the fiber optic cable. The device may perform one or more actions based on the distance satisfying a distance threshold.
