Know what a backhoe costs you — before it digs
EFL Telecom’s cut analysis turns "a cable got hit on Route 9" into an actionable impact list in seconds: strands, services, circuits, customers and contracts.
One click, full blast radius
Select any cable and run cut analysis. Because EFL Telecom models strands, splices and circuits — not just lines — it can answer the questions that matter during an outage:
- Which strands are lit on the cut cable, and which services ride them.
- Which circuits are affected — by ID and customer, so your NOC can start notifications immediately.
- What is downstream — equipment and cables isolated by the cut, traced through the splice graph.
- Which contracts are impacted — because an outage on leased fiber is a commercial event, not just a technical one.
Use it before the outage, too
Cut analysis is also a planning tool. Run it against your critical spans to find single-points-of-failure before construction season does; check whether a proposed maintenance window isolates anything you didn't expect; and rank restoration priorities by the circuits and customers each span carries.
Built on the same live model as everything else
There is no separate "outage database" to keep in sync. Cut analysis reads the same cables, strands, splices and circuits your team maintains daily — so the impact list is as current as your last publish, and the edit history tells you exactly who changed what if a result surprises you.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from just looking at the map?
The map shows geometry; cut analysis follows connectivity. A cut cable takes down strands that are spliced onward into other cables — the affected services may terminate miles from the dig site. EFL Telecom walks the splice graph to find them.
Can I use cut analysis for maintenance planning?
Yes — run it on any span before a planned window to see exactly which circuits and customers need notification, and to verify your redundancy assumptions.
