Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub and generating fiber port recommendations are presented. An exemplary method may include detecting, based at least on a fiber distribution record, one or more candidate ports in the fiber distribution hub; transmitting a first indication of a first selected port of the one or more candidate ports to a computing device; detecting, after transmitting the indication of the first selected port and in real time, that a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub has been disconnected; automatically updating the fiber distribution record such that the fiber distribution record is representative of an association between the termination unit and the first selected port; and generating, based on detecting that the termination unit has been disconnected, a second indication of a second selected port of the one or more candidate ports.
