Available

long integer

Yes

This field identifies whether a fiber is available to be leased or open for internal use. A fiber strand can be dark and still unavailable if it has been leased or reserved for another purpose. Each organization can determine the criteria for availability. The Fiber Availability Indicator domain is assigned to this field.

FiberColor

text

Yes

This is the color of the strand and can be configured to be any color. The Fiber Colors domain is assigned to this field.

FiberName

text

Yes

This is the color of the fiber strand. This field is set by values in the Fiber Color Names domain and can configured to be any color. The values in this domain can be expanded to include unconventional colors and stripes of any color.

GlassGrade

text

No

This stores the grade of glass from which the fiber is made. The Fiber Glass Grade domain is assigned to this field.

RestorationPriority
