Splice Points

When you locate a splice, Wavepoint XI provides three tabs: Details, Circuits, and Assets.

The Details tab shows high-level, GIS attributes.

The Circuits tab shows information about circuits that pass through the splice. You can use the Filter to refine the list, click a circuit name to open its information pane, and click View to see fiber connections of that circuit at the splice.

The Assets tab helps you visualize the cables, strands, and devices present at the splice. Use the Assets tab (left pane) in conjunction with the Connections tab (right pane) to view splice and device connectivity.

Cables and devices are represented at this splice location by semi-circular components around a ring. Click the connections between the cables and devices in the ring to display strand connectivity in the Connections tab on the right pane.

Connections Tab Display Options

In the Connections tab, you can manipulate the view in variety of ways:

• On the outer edge of either cable, click and hold to re-position the cable.

  For example, if the cable is too low to see its connections, click the gray bar and move the cable higher in the window.

  

• Click on the buffer tube colors to expand them.

  

• If a strand has a stub, it means that strand is connected to another, but not in the currently visible cable on the opposite side. Click a strand's color and the line connects to the strand on the other side of its connection.

Viewing Splitters and Passive Devices

The same display options discussed above are available for splitters and passive devices. The primary difference is the device displays whether it is an “in” port or an “out” port.

• For example, in the following image you can see the red fiber from the OPS 315 cable is connected to the in port.

  

• Using the same example, below you can see out port 1 is connected to the red fiber in the FJS 702 cable.

  

• Finally, you can see out port 2 is connected to the red fiber in the PES 315 cable.
