Cable Catalog Structure ( CATCxx.DBF )
Fieldname | Default width | Description |
---|---|---|
BLOCK / CLASS | 10 |
Always contains "CABLE", which is the usual name of the Elecdes block for which this catalog entry is suitable. |
MFG | 5 | |
CATNO | 50 |
Part number |
TYPE | 15 |
Text description of the cable. |
RATING1 - 10 | 20 |
Voltage, current and temperature ratings. |
AWG | 10 |
Wire gauge for the cable. |
CORESIZE | 10 |
The size of each core(conductor) of the cable: cross sectional area or wire gauge. |
CORES | 10 |
The number of cores(conductors) in the cable. |
USER | 55 |
Any additional user-defined data. |
PRICE | 10 |
Price per unit. |
CABLEFACTR | 10 |
A number representing the fill factor for this cable. Can be related to size, weight, thermal requirements etc. Zero, 0, is general and will not contribute to filling. Used by Paneldes to optimise the filling of raceway during cable routing. |
WEIGHT | 10 |
A number representing the weight for this cable. Zero, 0, is general and will not contribute to filling. Used by Paneldes to optimise the filling of raceway during cable routing. |
POWER | 5 |
A number representing the power rating for this cable. Used by Paneldes to separate cables with different power ratings during cable routing. Must match the power rating of the raceway intended to carry the cable. Zero, 0, is general and can be placed in any raceway. |
MINBNDRAD | 15 |
The minimum bend radius allowed for this cable. See Cable Schedule Report (Paneldes). |
ZONECLASS | 10 |
Area or zone classification. User defined for warnings and assistance for cable catalogs. |
DRUMSIZE | 10 |
The length of cable contained in one whole drum. Used by Paneldes to produce a drumming report. |
INSULOD | 10 |
Outer diameter of the outer insulation |
INSULID | 10 |
Inner diameter of the outer insulation |
INSULODCOR | 40 |
Outer diameter of the insulation of each core(conductor) of the cable |
INSULIDCOR | 40 |
Inner diameter of the insulation of each core(conductor) of the cable |
OD DIAM DIAMETER OD_DIAM ODIAMETER |
10 |
The outer diameter for this cable for cable route viewing and in a route segment cross section. The value should contain appropriate units, e.g. 12mm or 0.5". Only one of these columns is required. The value will be read from the first of these columns (in the order shown) that contains a value. If a value is not provided in one of these columns then cable route viewing and route segment cross section drawing will back-calculate the outer diameter from CABLEFACTR, treating CABLEFACTR as square millimetres or square inches. |
