Select Catalogue Cable

By basing all cables on standard predefined catalogue cables Wiring Manager is enforces data integrity by ensuring all cables using the same catalogue number are identical in physical properties such as number or cores, core markings, screen/shield configuration, diameter etc.

The Select a Cable from Catalogue window is used to select a catalogue cable definition for any project cable. It is accessed by clicking the button in the Catalogue No: field on the Cable Details window, or by selecting Change Catalogue No. for selected Cables in the Tools section of the List Tools - Cable Schedule tab.

Note:
Only those cables in the Cable Catalogue that have been marked with 'Allow Use' are shown in this selection list. 'Allow Use' pre-filters the catalogue cables that can be used for the current project. Refer to Cable Catalogue for more information.

Select a Cable from the Cable Catalogue

Either double-click on the desired cable, or click on the desired cable record and click Select.

Once the cable is selected, all cores with their predefined markings are created in the database by copying the catalogue cable definition from the Cable Catalogue.

Users may filter the cable catalogue by using any combination of column filters: Class, Manufacturer, Type, No. of cores, core size, armoured, Shields/Screen requirements etc. Electrical Wiring Manager will remember the last selection throughout the current Electrical Wiring Manager session.
