How to document splitters and splitter connections

[gregoryeid]

I have one GPON OLT with 8 ports. PON 1 connects to a 1:2 splitter. Each output of the 1:2 splitter connects to a 1:32 splitter. What should I do to represent this in Netbox?

I wondered the same, created both interface-flavoured PLCs and patch panel-flavoured PLCs.

But somewhere in the 3.x series, the ability to asset bridged interfaces and the ability for a trace to pass through it - works pretty well for me. (It does fall apart for the second input on a 2:4 however. But that's pretty minor compared to the power everything else gives.)

Here's a trace from an ONU to OLT:

@Myke Ran into the same requirement and tried to replicate your setup. However I only managed to do a cable trace one way from output to input (as in your image). Were you able to find a solution to trace in both directions? If yes, could you maybe explain how you archived that?
