The cable routing feature allows you to create modular cable routing sections. The sections convey the cables in your <plant>, and they subdivide into two main categories:

  • A Trunk is a standard section that can be utilized in all non-enclosed plant areas. Trunks contain positions, fixed on trays.

  • A Building is a section that passes through an enclosed area, and does not contain positions

You plan your cable routing system according to the following flow of activities:

  1. Set the cable routing options, such as cable length and position width units of measure, cable spare length, and so forth. For details, see Set Cable Routing Options.

  2. Create named standard widths. You will use these later to create positions in the trunk section. For details, see Manage Standard Widths.

  3. Create standard positions. Positions convey the cables within the trunk sections. For details, see Manage Standard Positions.

  4. Define the maximum number of cables for each standard position, according to the position width. This is how you assure that the number of cables does not exceed the position cable capacity. For details, see Set the Maximum Number of Cables for the Standard Positions.

  5. Create the routing sections. For details, see Create a Routing Section.

  6. Associate cables with sections. The association can be performed in single or batch mode. The association includes the following activities:

    • Selecting the cables to which you add the cable routing.

    • Setting the order of the routing sections per cable.

    • Selecting the active positions for each section.
