Fiber circuit data (Intro)

In TeleCAD-GIS, fiber circuit is an entity of its own (i.e. an object). It is generated by splicing (in splice point, terminals...) of individual fibers from different cables (i.e. fiber strands).

Various data can be associated with fiber circuit. The data is written on fiber circuit object.
What kind of data, the properties, and how to edit them is described on Tag: Fiber details page.
Data overview is described on Command: Fiber info page.

Data life cycle

As long as there is a fiber circuit, there will be data written on it.
By cutting the fiber the data written on the fiber circuit are destroyed, which makes sense since the fiber circuit ceases to exist after cutting (at the same time two completely new fiber circuits are created).

Logically, certain data must be removed automatically, and the simple reason for this is that they, as they are, can by no means suit the newly created fibers.
They include the following:

• fiber circuit ID
• OTDR Trace data
• ...

On the other hand, certain information can be transferred onto the newly created fiber circuits.
They include information such as:

• fiber owner
• fiber user
• ...

In order for the user to know, whether certain fibers have written information on them or not, they can use the analysis which will point to the type of information written on the fiber.

Besides all of the above, fibers can also be locked in order to prevent accidental fiber cutting (or deliberate cutting by a user who is not competent for such an action).
Fibers can be locked by the user, but also from the external system, in order to guarantee data integrity. This other case is possible in case of integration of INOVA GIS Platform with the external system.
