  • Connector at one or both cable ends

  • Connector at end of a single cable set

  • Connector at end of wires from different cable sets

  1. In the Domain Explorer or Reference Explorer, do one of the following:

    • To create a new cable, right-click the Cables folder and on the shortcut menu select New > Cable.

    • Right-click an existing cable, and on the shortcut menu select Properties.

  2. Modify cable properties as needed. For details, see Create a Cable.

  3. Select Connectors.

  4. In the Connector Assignments dialog, do one of the following:

    • To manage connector-wire associations for end 1 of the cable, select the End 1 tab.

    • To manage connector-wire associations for end 2 of the cable, select the End 2 tab.

  5. In the Connector Assignments dialog, select New.

  6. In the Connector Properties dialog that opens, under Connector, type the name of the new connector.
