View and Edit Cable Types

You can associate a cable type with each cable standard.

Use the View and Edit Cable Types task to define types of cables, such as Coax, Shielded Twisted Pair, and Fiber Optic Single Mode. The values you enter in this table are used to validate the Cable Type field of the Cable Standards table.

To define cable types:

  1. From the Web Central Process Navigator, select View and Edit Cable Types.
  2. Click Add New from the top of the Select Cable Type list.
  3. In the Cable Type field, enter a unique identifier for the cable type, and click save.

When you add standards to describe your cable, you can associate these cable types with the standard.
