Cables

When you locate or select a cable, Wavepoint displays two tabs in the left pane: Details and Fibers.

  • Do you not see the Details and Fibers tabs?

    • Most likely, you have selected the cable on the map, but have not yet clicked the cable name to further open it and see its internal information.

    • Click the cable name once, and the application displays the Details and Fibers tabs.

Details

This tab provides detailed information about the cable, including its start and end points and high-level attributes. You can see the start and end points labeled on the map, and you can also click the start and end points on the Details tab to view more information about them.

Fibers

The Fibers tab displays information about the strands that belong to the cable, as well as their availability status.

TIP: To locate a particular strand, either scroll through the list or use the Find tool in your web browser (Ctrl+F).

If the cable uses a buffer tube > strand arrangement, the tab displays the buffer tube color first followed by the fiber strand color:
