How to View Fiber Splices

Here is some information to keep in mind when looking at the splice details window.

• Cables and their high-level attributes appear in the boxes. They are sorted by Object ID.

• The fibers are called out by fiber number, splice type, and group number:

  
  IMPORTANT: The group number identifies the fibers that are spliced together as a set. In this manner, you can determine the other side of the splice at a glance by looking for the same group number.

• If fibers are not spliced, they have an asterisk (*) for their group number.

• Lines provide a visual of the spliced groups of fibers. You can also color code these lines to make following the group number easier to read.

It only takes a few steps to view Fiber Splices.

1. On your map in Fiber Manager XI, navigate reasonably close to the desired splice.

2. On the Main Menu > Fiber tab, click Fiber Splices. Notice, your cursor changes to green.

   

3. Click once on the desired splice.

   The Fiber Splices tool only works for splices. If you click a different fiber feature, look for the notification, No valid features for Splice Details were found.

4. A Fiber Splices pane appears displaying the schematic of the splice.
