Tip

Example:
By using a tray with a OM1 24x2 cable definition, i.e. a line installation cable with 24 fibers bundles with 2 fibers in each bundle, we have 48 fiber wires available for use. We can use single fibers for a simplex connection or create duplex connections with two fibers combined in a line an installation cable.

After the wires have been selected, click here (1) to select the line cable type and definition. Linescables, which have already been created, can be deleted here (2) as well.

For more information about line cable types and definitions, go to: Manage Line Definitions.

You can use many kinds of cable definitions. For more information about cable definitions, go to: Create Cable Definition.


To connect components and ports, perform the following steps:

  1. Select your line cable.

  2. Specify the number of wires you want to use for the ports.

  3. Select the source and destination ports.

  4. and click on Hookup Ports.
