The Cable Code on video

A tour of the site in 3 minutes, then one short clip per tool. English voice with subtitles in 15 languages, played from this site: no third parties, no cookies.

The Cable Code in 3 minutes

3:09

The whole site in one film: read a cable designation, design and check a cable, rate its current and pick its drum, and what Pro, business, sponsors and AI agents get.

Short clips

The Cable Code in 30 seconds

0:30

The whole site in thirty seconds: decode, design, check, rate, ship, lay and install.

Decode

0:28

Type a designation and see the cable layer by layer in 3D, with the meaning and the source of every letter, and the same answer every time.

Free reference

0:15

A free reference with no account: thousands of cables, from European medium voltage to North American building wire, with dimensions and fire classes.

Design

0:23

Start from a sentence: the designer sizes every layer to IEC, HD 620, BS or UL, draws the cable to scale and names it.

Check and equivalents

0:14

Check a cable against its standard clause by clause, and find its equivalent in another country's standard, compared layer by layer.

Specification

0:19

Tick what the project asks for, see every construction that meets it, and get the specification with its required and offered schedule.

Current rating

0:15

Pick the laying, in ground, in ducts or in air, and get the rating from the standard's own tables, every correction factor named.

Drum

0:13

The drum for your length, how the cable winds on it layer by layer, and what is left on a part-used drum.

Lay and install

0:18

Each cable family's lowest laying temperature, bending radius, pulling force, depth and the test after laying, every line with its source.

Pro

0:19

A datasheet in your own brand with the ratings and the compliance check, STEP solids for your CAD, and your own print on the cable.

For business

0:16

License the 3D cable engine: one JavaScript file, white-label, no server calls, so a cable maker can show every product in 3D.

Bid comparison

0:15

Compare every bidder's schedule with yours, row by row, including the deviations they did not declare; nothing leaves your computer.

Sponsorship

0:17

Sponsor a material, a cable family or a coding system, by region: always labelled, and it never changes an answer.

Developers and AI agents

0:14

An open API and an MCP server for software and AI agents: decode, design and check, paid per call.

Drum handling and loading

0:18

Choose the drum's lagging and see it drawn, follow the handling and storage checklist, and plan which drums go on each truck or container.

Voltage drop and sizing

0:19

The voltage drop of a load over a length against the IEC 60364-5-52 limit, and the smallest section that carries the current and keeps the drop within it.

Pull calculation

0:20

Draw the route and see the pull run from end to end, the worst point marked and the tension and sidewall pressure checked; Pro adds the numbers and the PDF.

NEC conduit and tray fill

0:17

On a North American design, the conduit sized by NEC Chapter 9 with the equipment grounding conductor, and the cable tray fill verdict by Article 392.

Fire class by location

0:16

Pick a country and a space in a building and see the minimum fire class, with the rule and the source behind it.

Test after installation

0:17

The tests after installation for the cable's own voltage, each with its voltage, time and source; with Pro, the commissioning sheet.

Laying in cold weather

0:18

The cable's lowest laying temperature and how to warm it first; Pro checks the site's climate against that limit, month by month.

AWG and the glossary

0:21

AWG sizes against mm² by resistance, not only by area, and glossary terms with their names in many languages and their sources.

Indian standards

0:17

An Indian cable designed to IS 7098 and its drum picked from the IS 10418 sizes, each value read in the standard itself.

Enquiries

0:16

Ask for a licence, a demo in your own brand or Enterprise by invoice: pick the subject, write a line, and the message reaches us directly.

Datasheet reader

0:16

With Pro, a maker's datasheet read into a form you can correct, with the page each value came from, then checked clause by clause by the same rules.
