Splice fibers in joint
In this step fibers are spliced in the joint closure: 4 fibers in the new cable are spliced to 4 fibers in the other existing cable.

Fiber connection in ODF
In this next step the same 4 fibers in the new cable are connected to 4 connectors in the new ODF. A connection object is created and displayed in the map.

Fiber connection diagram
Finally a fiber connection diagram can be generated automatically. The full fiber connection diagram shows each individual fiber as a line in the diagram.
