US 11,962,343 B1 · Method for identifying and highlighting available fibers in a fiber distribution hub

Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub and generating fiber port recommendations are presented. An exemplary method may include detecting, based at least on a fiber distribution record, one or more candidate ports in the fiber distribution hub; transmitting a first indication of a first selected port of the one or more candidate ports to a computing device; detecting, after transmitting the indication of the first selected port and in real time, that a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub has been disconnected; automatically updating the fiber distribution record such that the fiber distribution record is representative of an association between the termination unit and the first selected port; and generating, based on detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, a second indication of a second selected port of the one or more candidate ports.

A method for detecting fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub and generating fiber port recommendations, the method comprising:

detecting, by one or more processors and based at least on a fiber distribution record representative of port availability in a fiber distribution hub, one or more candidate ports in the fiber distribution hub;
transmitting, by the one or more processors, a first indication of a first selected port of the one or more candidate ports to a computing device;
detecting, by the one or more processors after transmitting the indication of the first selected port and in real time, that a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub has been disconnected;
responsive to detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, automatically updating, by the one or more processors, the fiber distribution record such that the fiber distribution record is representative of an association between the termination unit and the first selected port;
and
generating, by the one or more processors and based on detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, a second indication of a second selected port of the one or more candidate ports.

A system configured to detect fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub and generate fiber port recommendations, the system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
detect, based at least on a fiber distribution record representative of port availability in a fiber distribution hub, one or more candidate ports in the fiber distribution hub;
transmit a first indication of a first selected port of the one or more candidate ports to a computing device;
detect, after transmitting the indication of the first selected port and in real time, that a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub has been disconnected;
responsive to detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, automatically update the fiber distribution record such that the fiber distribution record is representative of an association between the termination unit and the first selected port;
and
generate, based on detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, a second indication of a second selected port of the one or more candidate ports.
