— Who this is for

Splicers, OSP foremen, anyone who's ever looked at a splice case full of 144 + 48 + drop and wished the routing was already drawn.

— The problem

You've got a splice case on the pole. A 144-count backbone, a 48-count lateral, a 12-count drop coming in. You need to know — right now — which six fibers of the blue tube of the 48 go to the new drop, which six stay on the 144, and exactly which two of those drop fibers map to which pair on the customer end.

— What you get on setup day

  • A configurable splice-map sheet that takes your tube colors, counts, and routing rules and produces a clean printable map
  • A field-card variant the splicer keeps on their hip (e.g. "green of 144 → blue of 48, first 6 only; fibers 1&2 → 11&12 on drop")
  • Color-coded tube-by-tube diagram you can mark up in the bucket
  • A standards lookup card for TIA-598-C colors (so the apprentice stops asking)
  • A common-patterns library: 144→48+drop, 96→24+drop, 12-to-12 straight, pre-loaded for your shop's typical splices
  • 60-min setup call to pre-load your most common splice patterns and your shop's naming conventions

— How it runs after setup

  1. 01Fill in: incoming count, outgoing count, drop count, tube colors involved
  2. 02Add the routing rules for this splice (which front-N or back-N fibers transfer)
  3. 03Generate the sheet — color-coded, tube-by-tube, with fiber numbers
  4. 04Print it, hand it to the splicer, or pull it up on the phone in the bucket
  5. 05Save the sheet to the job folder so the as-built map stays in sync

— Sample questions you can ask

The notebook answers things like this, with the source page cited every time:

  • "Generate a map for: incoming 144 → outgoing 48 (front 6 only) + 12-count drop"
  • "What's the TIA color for buffer tube 7?"
  • "Print the sheet for splice case #14 at pole 802"
  • "Show me the common pattern for a 96 → 24 + drop"

— Not built for this

Honest scope. If you need any of these, it's a different conversation:

  • Loss budget calc — see the OTDR Trace Reader template for that
  • OTDR file ingestion — also a separate template
  • Permanent as-built mapping in a GIS — we feed it, GIS owns it

Helpful for generating a written walk-through of an unusual splice. Not required day-to-day.

Green tube on the incoming 144 splices into the blue of the 48, but only the front 6. The other 6 stay on the 144. Fibers 1 and 2 of the 48 land on 11 and 12 of the drop. If you can draw that on a sheet, your apprentice can splice it.
