FiberPatrol FP1150 Product Guide

The split configuration can be used as a fully closed loop by co-locating the two software defined 
start points in a splice enclosure and the two end points in a second splice enclosure. However, 
the split configuration does not provide single cut redundancy. 

Figure 16

 and

the split configuration being used as a fully closed loop.
