What is tfAlarmProbableCause?

Reports the X.733/X.736 probable cause code for this alarm, indicating the likely underlying reason it was raised. It lets fault-management tooling automatically prioritize and correlate alarms by root-cause category instead of relying solely on free-text descriptions. For example, a probable cause value corresponding to "loss of signal" would immediately tell an operator the alarm stems from a physical-layer problem rather than a configuration issue.
