Select Cable Type
To add a cable in your network, first select the cable type and definition (1).
Usually, name and a number are generated automatically (2). Uncheck the box if you want to assign them yourself.
Finally decide whether to add the cable in a cable tray (3).
If a specific cable definition does not exists, you can create one yourself (4). To learn more about creating new cable definitions, go to: Create Cable Definitions.
Tray Selection
If you have chosen to install your cables through a tray, you will need to select a tray.
Here you can search for an existing tray(1). For more information about searching for existing trays, go to: Search Existing Trays.
If a tray does not exist between your desired locations, you can also create one yourself (2). For more information about how to create trays, go to: Create Cable Trays.
The cable overview by tray (3) shows information about your selected tray. You can also find information about the number of fibers in your cable and their types.
The fiber/strand information is given as single mode/ multi mode/ copper wire.
Click on Next for an overview of your cables and click on Finish to complete installing your cables and tray.
You will be asked whether you would like to place the cables you just installed.
Select Cable Source and Destination

Click on Next for an overview of your cables and click on Finish to complete installing your cables.
You will be asked whether you would like to place the cables you just installed.
Once you have added the line cable in your network, you can easily connect components to the backbone using the unassembled cables.

Otherwise you will be asked to select the tray. If it does not exist yet, you can create it.
