Use cases

CABLEROUTEPT models waypoints along a CABLEPATHWAY route. A pathway with no route points renders as a straight line from start to end coordinates. Adding route points creates a multi-segment path that follows bends, turns, and junctions. The sequence field determines point order along the route. Coordinates use the same mm-based system as rack roomX/roomY positioning, with Z representing height above the finished floor level. The pointType field captures the nature of the routing change at each waypoint, while bendRadius is important for fibre compliance (minimum bend radius requirements).

Fields

General: Route Point

FieldTypeRequiredNotes

General: Coordinates

FieldTypeRequiredNotes

ynumberYesmm from room origin (same coordinate system as rack roomY)
znumberYesHeight above finished floor level (e.g. 2400 for overhead, -200 for underfloor)
