For most fiber networks, coils (maintenance loops, where slack coil is stored for furture use) are apart of the fiber network. Is there a way to include these extra lengths of coils into the existing fiber network? Similarly, in rural areas, where pedestals are used to link fiber networks, is it possible to include the extra length of fiber that is consumed from the road to the pedestal?
Basically, I'm trying to create an accurate distance number from a building to a given point along the fiber, and this includes coils, and fiber consumed in pedestals.
Any soultions? I was hoping I could just type in the distance, or coil legth and have it be tallied up when I went to calculate the distance.
Thanks,
Thad
