Cable types are templates for the connection of patch cables. In a cable type, basic cable features are defined, which include:
- number of strands/fibers
- visibility
- strand or fiber type (e.g. copper, single mode or gradient fiber)
- protocol/quality (e.g. speed, wave length)
You can assign any number of cable types to a cable definition. These will assist you in partitioning when placing cables.
Use the wizard manage cables to:
- create new cable types
- edit existing cable types
- import cable types from the online catalog
- delete cable types
Please note that you cannot edit or delete cable types already in use.
Importing pre-defined cable types from the online catalog makes your network documentation easier. Please use the online catalog to avoid inconsistencies and data duplication.
