Settings— Splices

This is where you define how and where the fibers in the closures are automatically spliced together when exported to NET.

Subject Contents

Layer-related sorting

This specifies how the fibers are arranged in the trays of a device.
Setting options Example

Top Down

Bottom up

Unspecified

From top to bottom

Feeder-cable splices for shared cables are stored in trays 1 to x. The splices for the drops come into the trays x+1.

Subject Contents

Origin of cable

This determines which fiber will be spliced first in the cable.
Setting options Example

Start

Ending

Start

Fiber 1 is the first to be spliced.

Subject Contents

Use bundles in cable

This controls the correct use of the fibers for the splices in case of optimization setting “Multi-used cable” and “Assign fiber bundle completely to one subordinate point”.
Setting options Example

None

Feeder; primary distribution, etc.

For shared cable in the feeder cable, the distribution layer must be set there. The cable type of the shared cable must be defined in the NET template, because the sizes of the bundles are required.

Subject Contents

Tray spare capacity start

Tray spare capacity end

Defines the number of splice locations not to be occupied at the start or end of the tray.
Setting options  

The number of spare (and thus not to be used) splice locations is entered as a numerical value.

 
Subject Contents

Starting position in tray

Defines the first splicing location to be used in the tray
Setting options  

Start

Ending

 
Subject Contents

Tray creation behaviour

(the outgoing cable is taken into account)

Determines the rule according to which new trays will be created.

Setting options Example

Possible options are “None”, “Layer”, “Cable” or “Bundle”.

When “Cable” is set, a new tray is created in the distribution cabinet for each drop cable. 
Subject Contents

Cut fibers in the cable trunk

(for shared-cable strategy)

Controls how the fibers are handled in a shared-cable strategy.  

The default value is NO.

Setting options Example

YES/NO

NO: only the required fibers/bundles are cut in the distribution point.

YES: All fibers are cut.

Subject Contents

Create connectors

Rules for creating connectors 

Setting options Example

“None”/“Used fibers”/“All fibers”

Used fibers are active and spare fibers.

Subject Contents

Fiber splices

Splitter splices

Spare fiber ending

Unused fiber ending

This is where you define when new trays should be created for the individual connection and storage options.

Tray-filling sequence:

Fiber splices, splitter splices, spare fibers and unused fibers

Setting options  

Don't splice

Put in a separate tray

Share with fiber splices, etc. 

 

 

Subject Contents

Ignore calculated fiber routes

Selection of whether the fiber path from the Comsof fiber-designer calculation should be ignored

Setting options Note

YES/NO 

Should be set to YES
