Apparatus and method for modelling of passive connectors and a one-touch ROADM optical network

A node, comprising:

• a fiber shuffle panel comprising:
• a first connector having a plurality of first optical port pairs;
• and
• a second connector having a plurality of second optical port pairs, at least one of the second optical port pairs is optically coupled to at least one of the plurality of first optical port pairs;
• a first field replaceable unit having a plurality of third optical port pairs and a third connector optically coupled to the first connector via a first fiber optic cable;
• a second field replaceable unit having a plurality of fourth optical port pairs and a fourth connector optically coupled to the second connector via a second fiber optic cable;
• and
• a node controller comprising a node processor and a node memory, the node memory comprising a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing a Fiber Shuffle Pair (FSP) map data and processor-executable instructions that when executed by the node processor cause the node processor to:
• receive a first association between at least one of the third optical port pairs and one of the first connector and the second connector;
• validate the first association;
• generate an FRU map data based on the first association and the FSP map data;
• the FRU map data comprising a plurality of second associations between each of the plurality of third optical port pairs and the plurality of fourth optical port pairs;
• update a mode type for each of the second associations;
• receive an activation request to activate one or more service;
• and
• cause one or more field replaceable unit to activate the one or more service,
• wherein the FSP map data comprises a plurality of third associations between each of the plurality of first optical port pairs and the plurality of second optical port pairs.
