Edit an existing Catalog Cable

Change values any of the fields in the window as described above.

Then click Save.

Wiring Manager will update the cable cores/wires based on the information provided using core markings shown in the View Cores tab.

You can modify the core markings for this cable by clicking on the View Cores tab.

Refer to Change Cable Core Markings.

Important: Any changes that are made to the catalog cable are also saved to any project cables using this catalog cable. By changing core markings, adding/removing cores, screens/shields and/or earth cores of the catalog cable all project cables (using this catalog cable) are updated to reflect the new catalog cable definition.

For example, changing marking '1W' to '1WH' will change the marking in project cable instances that use this catalog cable for every cable in the project. Or changing the Manufacturer, Catalog Number or other property will also change all details in the Cable Schedule that use this Catalog Cable.

Any additional cores will not be terminated; you will need to terminate those (if required). Any cores removed will be disconnected prior to deletion. This is a very powerful feature of Wiring Manager and you should take care when using it, as a single change here can effect the whole project.

Note: The Group configuration (Pair, Triad) of a cable cannot be changed once it has been created. You will have to create a new catalog cable if the group type needs to change. This does not affect project cables, where a project cable's configuration can be changed by selecting a new catalog cable from the Cable Catalog. This limitation effects editing Catalog Cable definitions only.
