identification of the fiber. The identification is as follows:
Ix.y: I=Incoming fiber of the splitter
x=splitter number
y=splitter port
Ox.y: O=Outgoing fiber of the splitter
x=splitter number
y=splitter port
In case of asymmetrical splitters, the identification of the ports can be

end of the fiber.
