Description

Fiber Optic Color Code is a searchable expanding chart of fiber strands that translates the color code of Loose Tube, Ribbon and other high count fiber optic cables.

~Feature highlights:
customizable cables from 12F to 6912F, custom color codes, customizable fiber # searches, searchable cable count (with reverse cable count) and color code drill down.

This app shall be used only as a handy secondary reference tool as we know there are mistakes made in the field and incorrect records that always need to be taken into account. Use of a tone source as a primary identifier will always be more accurate.

Locate fibers with or without cable counts. Simply enter a strand # without a cable count or enter the 'Cable,Fiber' if you're using a complex cable count (app auto detects if there's a count or not). The app will then auto expand and place index pointers at your found fibers locations.

~To configure High Density cables (RILT#1-5 positions) to include Ribbon in loose tube, Spår/slotted core or yarn bundled cable :
1) Select the round cable type configuration button at the bottom right of the main screen.
2) Select any of the last 5 items in the list labeled as RILT#1-5.
3) Select the bottom left "More" tab.
4) Select "Set RILT" and configure

RILT#1-5 maximum configuration of any combination (not to exceed 6912F):
Super Tubes: 1-24max
Ribbons: 1-144max
Fibers: 1-48max

~Create customized color codes:
1) Select the bottom left "More" tab.
2) Then select 'Set Color Code' from the 'More Menu'.
3) Scroll down to the very bottom of the populated color code list and select 'Custom Setup'.
4) At the next screen that appears; click the 'Start here' button, then select a color code position you'd like to edit from the list.
5) Edit the list name.
6) Start with tube colors then edit super & fiber colors (starting with tube colors will pre-populate super and fiber colors)
7) Then click the green check button on the fibers screen after reviewing your selections to save.

~Input Cable Count screen
While not necessary to use in the app. You can enter a full complex cable count that can be split into a cable type sub-unit configuration of your choice (2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, RILT #1-5).

~Smart Save
Saving a cable count by a cable position turns the Search Button Icon and related cable count text box borders to a distinguishable color for keeping track of which cable cable is being currently used within the app.
1) Select the round Cable Type button
2) Enter cable count
3) Optionally select a position to save count to
4) Click the "Color Code" button

Cable1 = Blue
Cable2 = Orange
Cable3 = Green
Custom Start Fiber (Without a cable count) = Red
Unsaved cable count or Start fiber is #1 = Gray

Smart Save radio button color key:
green = vacant
black = existing count stored
red = existing count to be overwritten
blue = saved successfully

To remove a previously saved cable count. Select the position to be deleted and long click the Clear button.

~Cable Count Input validation dot:
Provides the user with a simple way to know if the cable count entered is valid for the color code chart. It will turn red if missing a cable name, missing a comma, the low fiber range is greater than the high fiber range, or the sum of the whole cable count is greater than the chosen cable type.

~Double Space Auto Punctuation:
Easily enter a cable count using the apps built in double space auto-punctuation feature by:
1) Enter cable name followed by 2 spaces (app automatically places a comma)
2) Enter the low fiber followed by 2 spaces (app automatically places a dash)
3) Enter the high fiber followed by 2 spaces (app automatically drops down for next line of count)

What’s New

Version 8.09.03

Thanks for choosing the Fiber Optic Color Code app! This update includes a couple of user requests to the straight fiber sheath count search screen.

First is X=Y:
The x=y update allows a user to set a custom straight sheath count if they might only know only one of the fibers identity. So say you know fiber 36 is identified as 55.

Above the Custom Start Fiber is a X=Y option. Clicking the option will open up 2 inputs. The first input is the X input where you enter the physical Fiber #. In the above scenario you enter the 35. The second input is the Y input. Here you'll enter the ID of 55.

Doing the above enters a starting fiber of 20 into the app.

2nd part update "Update Ranges (##-##)":
When entering a custom start fiber this option updates the the numbers inside the parentheses ( ) to reflect the custom fibers id'd within for quick glancing.

You the user will need to enable the "Update Ranges (##-##)" option from within the app settings located in the More tab on the bottom navigation bar

3rd part of update "Reverse" lookup:
When a custom start fiber is entered there is now a option to search by physical sheath count. So entering a custom start fiber of 20 and reverse searching for physical sheath fiber of 2 results in displaying the second fiber in the sheath id'd as 21.

Thanks again!
