The map on the wall shows the routes. Different companies have different
names, I worked for one company that had them all 1001-12 which would be the
12th handhole on route 1001. One company had the pedistals as 2s4e3n which was
the third ped north of the fourth ped east of the second ped south of the
central office. Each company names their routes their way and everyone knows
where Canyon Road is.
If the customer is between the splitter and the 144 then you either back feed
or use an express strand. And you note that with symbols on the cable book. I
am using 1935 bell system copper cable book methods and symbols. It is
somewhat of an industry standard, at least it used to be. Works just find for
fiber. Vertical columns are hand holes. Horizontal lines are strands. If a
strand goes down a street and branches, then the continuing strands continue
with linear symbols while the branch shows an arrow. Later in the page is a
matching arrow documenting the branch route. You can learn this thing in 5
minutes.

If you're someone else, not Chuck, WTF is route A/B/C/D?
What if your customer is between the splitter and 144?

I can document a case in an email:
144 Route 0 1-48 -> 1-48 Route C
144 Route 0 49-60 –> 1-12 Route D
144 Route 0 61-132 0-> 1-72 Route B
144 Route 0 133-144 –> 1-12 Route A

That doesn't tell you how to do a case at all?

Here is a page from mine.
I have a patch panel in my Central office connected to my 576 strand cable.
Kinda the MDF in copper telecom terminology.
Strand 397 on the patch panel and of the 576 strand cable is spliced to
strand 253 of my 432 strand cable at my 00 hand hole. (can’t see the 00 on
this sheet)
Then it runs down the road on the SR36 route to the Canyon Road hand hole.
In that handhole there is a splitter connected to strand 253 of the 432.
The 32nd output of that splitter is connected to the 32nd strand of the
Canyon Road 48 strand cable and serves a customer named Ben Garrard.
And I can tell you all of this detail by just a glance at this single page
of my cable book. And it is free...

Revisiting this.
I've been trying to find something besides spreadsheets to document splices
/ splice cases, but cannot find anything that isn't an all-inclusive package
with a matching monthly fee. Does anyone know of anything out there that works
for this? I've been trying to use spreadsheets, but find them extraordinarily
cumbersome. I'm starting to think some graphing paper and a pencil might be
the only option.
I don't really need mapping, but something that involves mapping/GIS/splice
documentation may be useful as well.
Thanks.
