ACRONYMS
SMF
What is Single Mode Fiber
This is a type of splice where a cable is accessed mid-sheath and there is an enclosure/splice case introduced in the middle without cutting the entire cable:
What is a Ring Cut
This GESW tool is commonly used when we are required to edit a cable with PRMs on it (Ex. upsizing or downsizing a cable)
This is the sequence number given to the first span of any collector ring, this span is commonly referred to as the 0$ span (Hub to first site on the ring):
What is a POI (Point of Intersection)
This type of site is a miniature version of a macro FTT tower, they are used to expand cell coverage and typically home back to a macro Tower
What is a Small Cell
POP
What is Point of Presence
This type of cable connects two different enclosures within the same UUB or Pole:
What is a Bridge Cable
This color is for the UG route of a Stub (Customer Owned) cable:
What is Magneta
When building a new FTT location within GESW, this name/ID should be used:
What is SFID
When meeting a customer on a FTT order, The MMP is most commonly located where?
What is the Right of Way
PEPM
What is Post Engineering Provisioning Method
These are components within splice cases used to protect and organize fiber optic cables and their splices:
What Are Splice Trays (Trays)
If a ND is requested but either not able to be found or non-existent, this tool in MyWorld can be used to provide cable names, fibers, splices cases, distances, and coordinates?
What is Trace Details Report
This is the sequence number given to the first span of any collector ring, this span is commonly referred to as the 0$ span (Hub to first site on the ring):
What is 0.0
This determines the rate at which information can be transmitted across a medium. The rates can be measured in bits (b/s), kilobits (Kb/s), megabits (Mb/s), and gigabits (Gb/s) per second.
What is Bandwidth
DWDM
What is Dense wavelength-division multiplexing
This is a network monitoring technology used to remotely collect, transmit, and measure data from remote sources:
What is Telemetry
You can find this object associated to a SPA (Splice Activity) that will be tied to a SPO (Splice Order). This object will call out any redlines occurred during the splicing of the SPO at a specific splice case:
What is SPI (Splice Item)
Within GESW, these represent the actual walls that are inside a MH, HH, or Vault. Most UUBS can only have 4 of these:
What is Conduit Route Face
If there is a break along one section of the backbone of a collector ring, forcing all traffic to go around the other side of the ring, the ring is said to be in
What is Simplex
SONET
What is Synchronous Optical NETwork
A splicer calls wanting to use an unused pair of fibers, they call out the fibers they would like to use as ‘orange/blue fibers of the dash-blue tube’, these fibers are: (Standard SMF 432ct cable)
What is 145-146
This page within Salesforce is the ties an entire project together, all rings on the project should be associated with this page as well as entire project documents like KMZs and FSB Workbooks:
What is ZPN (Zayo Project)
The "DISH Wireless_LIT_DFTT" portion of the following ring name comes from this field in Salesforce: (F22T_DISH Wireless_LIT_DFTT - Tampa_R009_FL-94C-FL-94C)
What is the Master Program
This technology/service uses light to transmit data through fiber optic cables using WDM technology. This allows multiple signals of different wavelengths to be transmitted simultaneously across a single fiber.
What is a Wavelength Service (Wavelength)
