Cables Referencing
Any cable can be referred to in two ways:
- using the cable designator,
- using the cable name.
Cable Designator Syntax
The cable designator is a unique character string structured as follows:
<Family>-<Identifier>-<Length>
This is an Euresys proprietary designation system, and does not correspond to an industry-wide standard.
Item |
Description |
<Family> |
A three-letter symbol indicating the main device connected to the cable. |
<Identifier> |
The letter C followed by a two-digit part number. |
<Length> |
The length of the cable expressed in meters (two digits). |
For example, the cable designated by "A15-C03-05" refers to a 5-meter cable (05) to be connected to an analog Domino frame grabber (A15). This is the third of this kind documented by Euresys (C03).
The length item is "xx" when a cable of unspecified length is described.
Cable Name
To ease the understanding of a cable usage, a name has been assigned to it. This name unambiguously designates the cable, but it only makes sense to the engineer.
