Fiber splice diagram
Tick fibers on the left and on the right, press Splice, and the line appears on the diagram. Also called a splice sheet, splice chart or splice matrix.
This is an example node. Splice, undo and move the lines to see how it works.
How to use the diagram
- Click a number, then a second onethe two fibers are spliced
- Drag along numbers, then along othersthe run is spliced in pairs, first with first
- Click a line to select itdouble-click labels it; a selection can be made transit or dragged sideways
- Draw a frame around linesto select several at once
Delete removes the selection, Cmd or Ctrl+Z reverts the last change. From the keyboard: Tab to the diagram, arrows pick a line, Enter labels it.

How the diagram is drawn
Cables, port blocks and splitters stand in two columns, and only lines run between them. A line makes at most two bends. The splice dot sits next to the fiber the line arrives at, and no other line passes through it.
A crossed pair is drawn as a slanted cross. If a whole tube is spliced to a whole tube in order, the tube is shown as one line, and you can open it to see every fiber.
