- [Instructor] In many cases, we will want to use cables that may consist of multiple conductors instead of just individual wires. So let's say, for example, this cable connecting from my terminal block X1 to my motor M1 and X2 to M2. Those cables are going to be a cable of, say, four conductors rather than four individual wires. So there's a few different way that we can detail up our cabling. So one way, if I just go into a line diagram drawing, a very simple method, I can just double click on any cable. Just double click on this line here, and this jumps me in to my detailed cabling window. And this is a very nice, easy to use interface. You have our origin component on the left hand side, so that's my X1 terminal. You have the destination component on the right hand side. That's my M1 motor. And in between, it shows all of the different electrical connections, and the wires between that. And, if those wires are within a cable or not. Right now these are just individual wires, but…
