1. A system facilitating identification of fiber capacity, said system comprising:
a network of optical fiber cabling arrangement between a plurality of telecom equipments, comprising a multi-fiber optical fiber cable (OFC), wherein each said telecom equipments are connected to a Fiber Distribution Panel (FDP) with a patch cord, said patch cord connecting a port of a router of said telecom equipment to said FDP;
a management module coupled to a capacity utilization pipeline system (CUPS) module, said management module comprising a processor that executes a set of executable instructions that are stored in a memory, upon execution of which, the processor causes the CUPS module system to:
discover said network of optical fiber cabling arrangement between an end to end connectivity, said end to end connectivity corresponding to an equipment-port of a first telecom equipment to an equipment-port of a second telecom equipment;
scan, by a logical inventory module, a logical link path between said end to end connectivity;
trace by a physical inventory module, an end-to-end physical connectivity between said end to end connectivity;
identify a set of features of the optical fiber cable (OFC) based on the scanning and tracing of the OFC between said end to end connectivity; and
determine the fiber capacity of the OPC based on the identification of the set of features, said set of features corresponding to lit, unlit, used and unused fiber strands in the OFC; and
wherein the CUPS is further configured to:
generate a first exception report, if the end-to-end connectivity is not present;
assign fibers for fiber usage determined in a trace path of the end-to-end connectivity, if an Out Side Plant (OSP) connectivity is present in the network of optical fiber cabling arrangement between a plurality of user equipments;
publish a second exception report, said second exception report corresponding to a missing connectivity between an active telecom equipment to the FDP;
generate a list of participating fibers in the trace path between the active telecom equipment to the FDP; and
assign fiber usage and status at fiber level to the list of participating fibers in the trace path between the active telecom equipment to the FDP.
