v3.1.0
May 6th, 2025
Backbone
FiberDock now allows Backbone designing directly in the schematic! By designating 1) a starting splice location and 2) locations (and quantity) of ending Backbone fibers, FiberDock will automatically map a path for these fibers, displaying Backbone counts on each cable along the way.
Backbone has also been added to the exportable Splicing Sheets and Splicing Plans.
Feeder/Backbone Count Order
Feeder and Backbone count orders are now editable at applicable splices.
Additional Warnings/Error Messages
When FDH stub lengths exceed 31m, users are notified with a warning. When they exceed 50m, users are notified with an error.
When the requested number of fibers exceeds FDH capacity, users are prompted with an error message. A similar message is triggered when the requested Feeder fibers coming to the FDH exceed the FDH Feeder stub capacity.
Various Bugfixes
v3.0.0
April 15th, 2025
Settings Templates
FiberDock now allows customization by ISP, allowing use by many more customers.
GIS Import
Import and Export of data from GIS sources is now supported. Current integrations include ESRI ArcGIS, and GeoJSON.
Feeder and Backbone Layers
Feeder and Backbone fibers can now be included in designs, sharing cables with Distribution.
Clerk Logon Provider
FiberDock has been enhanced to utilize the Clerk Logon provider, which allows support for SSO logins.
v2.3.1
December 16th, 2024
Bugfix
This release of FiberDock includes a bugfix resolving an issue the caused the schematic screen to appear blank (white screen).
v2.3.0
December 11th, 2024
Bugfixes
This release of FiberDock includes a couple of bugfixes including to the algorithm itself to better save fibres. You will be notified if your job is affected by the change.
Now, a warning is displayed similar to a version change warning when opening a job that is affected by an algorithm change and may cause unintended changes when attempting to edit it.
Bug fixed in count algorithm where it did not correctly borrow fibres when needing to borrow from multiple splices in a row. Only a handful of designs have been affected by this change.
Fixed a bug where changing the filter for type of design (All/My Designs) on the home page also resets the search box.
Fixed a bug that would incorrectly display a port size error on designs.
v2.2.0
October 25th, 2024
Splicing Sheets
Introducing Splicing Sheets, a new export option now available in FiberDock! Splicing Sheets provide a spreadsheet format that many splicers prefer, offering a detailed, row-by-row breakdown of fiber splicing work for clear, organized tracking.
Partially Energized Terminals
FiberDock now supports partially energized terminals. Instead of fully energizing every port in a terminal, designers can now specify the exact number of ports to energize. For example, energizing only 3 out of 4 ports in a 4-port terminal. Simply specify the amount of energized ports when creating a terminal and can be rest assured that FiberDock will automatically take care of the fiber counts.
Redesigned Settings Page
The settings page was getting clunky and disorganized with all the new features that have been implemented lately. The page has been completely redesigned for a cleaner, more compact layout, making it easier to navigate and quickly find the settings you need.
To access the Design Properties in a new design, click "Edit Design Details" in the title section. Once a Job Number has been set for your design, click the Job Number in the title area to return to the Design Properties section.
Features
FiberDock now allows designers to assign different feeder CSP and CSP-GLB labels that will only be displayed on Feeder Plan exports.
Bugfixes
FiberDock now correctly arranges cable and terminal images, as well as the contents of table editors in proper sequence.
CSP models with a star (*) prefix, which caused issues during Feeder BOM export, have been removed.
Resolved an issue that caused freezing when editing splice plan labels in the schematic.
Resolved an issue that related to exports of SCT counts in the BC3888 form.
v2.1.0
September 5th, 2024
Undo/Redo
One of the most requested features is now available in FiberDock. Easily undo (Ctrl + Z) and redo (Ctrl + Y) actions, or use the buttons in the header. Designers will be able to undo up to 100 edits at a time.
Select Available Cables
When a cable is set to "Auto," FiberDock automatically selects the optimal cable type and size. Designers can now limit the selection options under "Cable Settings."
Other Features
The footer template for splicing and feeder plans now includes company logos and exported date.
Designers can now use SCTs purely as splice points for branched MPTs by setting the SCT size to 0, eliminating the need to treat SCTs as terminals.
Designers can now set the default number of spares left at the end of each leg under "Splice Settings."
A warning message now appears 1 minute before logging out due to inactivity.
Design warnings and errors, previously listed on the exports and plans pages, are now also displayed on the schematic page.
v2.0.0
August 1st, 2024
New Count Algorithm
FiberDock v2.0.0 marks our most significant update to date, hence the version 2. We've completely rebuilt the count algorithm used to assign fibre counts to enhance its efficiency and optimization. The main changes are listed below:
The new count algorithm better optimizes fibre usage and saves more fibres when compared to the previous count algorithm.
- Assigning SCT fibre counts has been reworked to optmize fibre usage.
- Splices with only SCT terminals no longer leave unnecessary spares.
- Fixed a bug that incorrectly determined the placement order of SCTs and MPTs.
Fixed an issue that caused fibre counts to overlap when a branched splice was at the end of a leg and contained only SCTs.
Migrating Designs To Version 2
When opening designs last modified in FiberDock v1, you will see a version change prompt. The new count algorithm may alter existing fiber counts, so it’s recommended to “Download Changes” to review before upgrading.
- v1.0*: Directs you to the previous version of the tool with the old algorithm. Choose this for designs that require consistent fibre counts.
- v2.0: Immediately applies the new count algorithm. Select this if count changes won’t impact your design.
*v1.0 is deprecated and will not receive new updates or features.
Save Points
Save points offer a history of changes, enabling you to easily view alterations over time and swiftly revert to previous states as needed. Save points are created:
- Manually by the designer by clicking "+ Save Point".
- Automatically when a design is exported.
- Automatically when a design's FiberDock version is upgraded.
