In IRM, the Cable object is used to define all cable routes and connections between hardware. Cable objects are typed objects, meaning they are organized into Categories and Types in the Cable C&T tree (see Organizing Cable Types by Category Assignment).
Cablesets are used to insert one or more Cable objects in to the Design World.
Some examples of different usages of Cable objects:
Cable connecting user work areas to the local Telecom Room
Connecting to the Telecom Room to the MCR or Datacenter
InterRow backbones within the Datacenter and IntraRack cabling within each rack.
Connection to the OSP or WAN Service Provider
Cable routed between ducts in a maintenance hole using the Butterfly View
Cables routed through pathways between buildings & manholes in an outside plant
This section will introduce the user to the following functions:
Cable definition creating a new Cable Set
Cable creation and routing in the Design World using an ad-hoc Cable Set
Cable creation and routing in the Design World using predefined Cable Sets
