Some cables are numbered (1, 2, 3, …) and others have a color code (BK, BR, GY, BU, …) – depending on the norm.<\/p>\n

Most numbering and color codes are included in the WSCAD software, so the cables can be easily placed correctly and in compliance with the norm.<\/p>\n

But actually there are also special cables with unusual color codes that are not included in the WSCAD color code database.<\/p>\n

That’s why the WSCAD software offers the possibility to extend and edit the color code list.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_margin=”default”
