The Cable Code

Decode a cable type designation (DIN VDE, HAR, BS/IEC, NEC, TS, UTE, CEI-UNEL and 32 more of its 39 coding systems, plus LAN and fibre) into its layers: conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, with the source behind each symbol. Deterministic, no LLM.

Design and size a power cable from a sentence (Turkish or English, e.g. "3-core collective screen 12/20 kV 3x95/25 Al, longitudinally watertight") or a spec: every layer's thickness with its source (IEC 60502-1 / -2, IEC 60228), the overall diameter, the DIN VDE 0276 designation and the decoder's reading of it; optional XML, DXF, SVG, CSV, GLB, STEP (3D CAD) and a PDF datasheet. Deterministic, no LLM; a nominal calculation, not a datasheet.

Find the equivalents of a power cable in other countries' standards ("the Dutch equivalent of this Swedish cable"): the decoded cable is rebuilt under each target rule set (IEC 60502, HD 603, HD 620 sections J/M/D/C/K, BS 5467/6724/7846/6622, EN 50618, HD 627) with the same conductor, section, cores, voltage, screen, armour and sheath, then compared layer by layer with the source of every value. Verdict per standard: equivalent, close (with the differences) or none (with the reason), and the name in that country's letters where sourced. Deterministic, no LLM. Never a statement of interchangeability: the buyer's specification decides.

Check a power cable against a standard's nominal rules: a designation with size and voltage, a designer design, or the construction a maker's datasheet or tender offer states (layers with nominal and minimum thicknesses, screen and armour data). Rule sets: IEC 60502-1 / -2, IEC 60228, HD 603 3-G / 5-G, HD 620 10-J / M / D / C / K, BS 5467, BS 6724, BS 7846, BS 6622, or "auto" for the standards the cable claims. Every rule with required, found, pass / fail / not checkable and its source (standard, edition, clause or table, page, how firmly seen). Deterministic, no LLM. A check against nominal rules, not a certificate or a type test.
