5.12.12.8.2. Definition of the single cable elements in linear form

For each of the cable elements, a Name should exist (exception whole cable).

Following table shows the possible attributes of the whole cable [Cable] (CNSELEK|8|2|1):

Cables are on top level and do not have a parent element.

Parameter	Description	Value
Identifier	Unique name	e.g. Cable_ID\|0
JacketMaterial	Insulation	String
JacketColour	Color of insulation	DIN 47100 (example value)
MinBendRadius	Minimal bend radius	[mm]
OuterDiameter	Outer diameter	[mm]
NumberCores	Total number of all cores	Integer
CopperNumber	Copper number	[kg/m]

Following table shows the possible attributes of cable bundle (CNSELEK|8|2|3), cable shield (CNSELEK|8|2|4) and cable twist (CNSELEK|8|2|5):

Parameter Description Value
Identifier Unique name e.g. CableTwist_ID|1
Name Name Sequential number

Following table shows the possible attributes of cable cores (CNSELEK|8|2|2):

Note: Cores are the lowest element within the recursive depiction of cables, which means they do not have child elements.

For cores the Name is build by the value of the color code of the insulation according to DIN 47100 and the diameter, which have to be set mandatorily. This allows maximal portability of cable data.

Parameter	Description	Value
Identifier	Unique name	e.g. CableCore_ID\|1\|1
Name	Combination of color code of insulation according to DIN 47100 and diameter	Example: RD-0,25mm²
Colour	Color of insulation	according to DIN 47100
CrossSection	Cross section of copper conductor	[mm²]
OuterDiameter	Outer diameter (incl. insulation)	[mm²]

This attribute list can be flexibly enhanced if needed (preferably for the whole cable or cores). An example would be the inductivity of cable per meter (MicroHenry/m), etc.
