This procedure explains how to define cable drum attributes for cable types. This is required because each cable type has its minimum and maximum length. The cable drums that you will create will then be based on the cable drum attributes that you define here.

  1. In the Wiring Module window, select Tables > Cable > Types.

  2. On the Cable Types dialog, select a cable type and select Properties.

  3. On the Cable Type Properties dialog, type the appropriate data in the following fields:

    • Maximum drum length — type the maximum cable drum length for this cable type.

    • Minimum drum length — type the minimum cable drum length for this cable type.

    • Length UOM — select the length unit of measure.

    • Drum spare length percent — enter the percent of the used cable drum length to allocate to spare cable length. (The spare and the used length combine to the total length.)

  4. Select OK to save your changes and close the Cable Type Properties dialog.

  5. Select OK to close the Cable Types dialog.
