Every tube, every strand, every splice — on the record
A line on a map is not a network. EFL Telecom models what is inside the sheath, with TIA-598 color management, closure-scoped splice records, and splice sheets built for the field.
TIA-598 color coding, automatic
Draw a cable and give it a fiber count; EFL Telecom expands it into buffer tubes of 12 strands, each with its standard TIA-598 color — blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose, aqua. A 144-count cable is 12 correctly-colored tubes the moment it exists. No spreadsheet, no manual assignment, no color math at 2 a.m.
Strand lifecycle you don't have to babysit
Strands carry status — available, reserved, in-use, dark, damaged — and the circuit layer maintains it automatically: attach a cable to a circuit and a strand is reserved; activate the circuit and it flips to in-use; delete the circuit and the strand is released back to inventory. Utilization per cable is always current, and the network map can color every cable by strand utilization at a glance.
Splice records that live where splices live
Splices are recorded per closure — strand A of one cable to strand B of another, with the measured or assumed loss. The model enforces reality: a strand can be spliced only once in a given closure, a strand can't be spliced to itself, and splices only exist inside splice-capable equipment.
Printable splice sheets
Every closure prints a technician-ready splice sheet: both cables, tube and strand numbers, true TIA color swatches, and loss values. It's the document your splicers actually use — generated from the live database instead of re-drawn in Excel, so it is never a revision behind the network.
Ports, sheath footage and slack
Patch panels, OLTs and splitters carry per-port records — connector type, status, and what is plugged in. Cables record sheath length and slack loops separately from geodesic route length, because fiber is bought and spliced by sheath footage, not map distance.
Frequently asked questions
Does EFL Telecom follow the TIA-598 color standard?
Yes. Tubes and strands are colored per TIA-598 automatically — 12 strands per buffer tube in the standard sequence — and splice sheets print with true color swatches.
Can I track which circuit uses which strand?
Yes. Circuits reserve strands automatically when you attach cables, record the strand number used on each member cable, and release strands when the circuit is removed.
Can my splicers use it in the field?
Splice sheets print from any closure for offline use, and the app itself is web-based, so a technician with a tablet and connectivity can work from the live record.
