ODF placement

The placement procedure is the same for all FO nodal elements.
The difference lies in the object which is to be placed by the used command (ODF, OTB, Patch Panel, Device, Router, IPAN or ONT).
The laying procedure is described on Laying FO nodal elements page.


Splicing

The procedure of ODF splicing/connecting is described on Fiber splicing in FDB page.
