About this app

If you've ever made a splice layout cheat sheet you may find this app handy.

Quickly enter cable counts using the cable Id picker. Set your cable grouping configurations then click the gold Csplice button to have the app compare the relationship of all entered cable counts. The app will then break down counts into your entered grouping configuration and display a colored cable block next to counts to show which cable to look for its matching count to splice to. Latest update allows the user to click on a matched count (noted by the matching cable colored block). When clicked the app will filter only show matching counts groups highlighted in orange. If a groups has more than one count the app will further break down the count into individual fibers/pairs. See image #5 for an example.

Printable splice layouts! Click the "Print" icon button on the tool bar. Once the print manager pops up select "Save as PDF" and save it. Use your devices "Files" app and navigate to Csplice.pdf file and share the pdf file by email to a printer connected computer.

This app shall be used only as a handy secondary reference tool.

Csplice works with either fiber optic or copper pair cable counts.


Csplice works with the latest versions of my "Fiber Optic Color Code" and "25 Pair Color Code" apps as well. After entering a cable count into a cable column input click the "CC" button to have the app open either the FOCC or 25pr CC app with the counts automatically entered for you


Opening Screen:

Enter a short name/description of splice and click green "+" button


Then select your newly named splice button to begin entering cable counts


App saves up to 10 splices, when an 11th splice is entered the bottom splice in the list is deleted


Clicking the red "-" button deletes selected splice with confirmation


Csplice screen:

Enter your cable counts into any of the cable inputs

Set your group type configurations in the upper input boxes

example of group type configurations (but not limited to):
6 , 8, 12, 12-1, 25, 25-1, 144-12, 288-12, 600-25, 100-25, 100-25+, 2400-100-25


Clicking the "Say It" button reads back counts to user to verify correct count entry


Click the round gold colored Csplice button at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will put the app into Csplice mode which displays a colored block to show cable count relations between the groups pairs/fibers of all entered cables


When a cable has been "Parsed" the app user can overwrite the "Cable Size = ###" box text with their own short note. example: "48F West" "600pr North" etc...


After clicking the Csplice button an empty check box is activated in the top left corner of each cable count. Checking a cable count check box will filter out all unrelated groups and displays only all other related cables with their related group counts.

To edit a cable count after clicking gold round button. Uncheck any filtered cable and click any clear button 2x. Beware that 3rd click of the clear button clears the cable count.

Click on the "CC" button to have the app open either my Fiber Optic Color Code or 25 Pair Color Code app , depending on group type configuration, with the count automatically put into the opened app. If user doesn't have either app installed App Store will open to purchase / install it.

This app works with the splice://icc? url scheme with the optional parameters of name, cab1, cab2, cab3, cab4, cab5, cab6, cab7, cab8, cab9, cab10

This url scheme can be used by other applications (email, web page or app) to open this app with the parameters used to fill in the data automatically of a splice.

example:

splice://icc?name=Test%20splice&cab1=1234N,1-864&cab2=1234N,289-432%0AA,1-24%0A1234N,1-120&cab3=B,1-8%0A1234N,631-632%0AB,11-24%0A1234N,121-144

New features

Exciting update!
After putting app into Csplice mode the user can click a cable count that has a matching count (noted by the colored block) and the app will only show groups that match. Also the cable count you clicked on will be highlighted in orange. If any group has more than one count the app will then display the groups as individual fiber/pairs. Click on the full orange highlighted count to show the whole splice again.
