Semantic definitions at the type
Type definition

The IfcCableSegmentTypeEnum defines the range of different types of cable segment that can be specified.

HISTORY  New type in IFC2x2. Core and busbar segment added in IFC4.

Enumeration definition
ConstantDescription
BUSBARSEGMENT

Electrical conductor that makes a common connection between several electrical circuits. Properties of a busbar are the same as those of a cable segment and are captured by the cable segment property set.

CABLESEGMENT

Cable with a specific purpose to lead electric current within a circuit or any other electric construction. Includes all types of electric cables, mainly several core segments or conductor segments wrapped together.

CONDUCTORSEGMENT

A single linear element within a cable or an exposed wire (such as for grounding) with the specific purpose to lead electric current, data, or a telecommunications signal.

CORESEGMENT

A self contained element of a cable that comprises one or more conductors and sheathing.The core of one lead is normally single wired or multiwired which are intertwined.

CONTACTWIRESEGMENT

An electric conductor of an overhead contact line with which the current collectors make contact.
Note: definition from IEC60050 811-33-15.

FIBERSEGMENT

A fiber segment is an individual optical fiber used in telecommunication systems to transmit data by means of optical signals.

FIBERTUBE

A fiber tube is semi-rigid hollow plastic tube with a very small radius that houses and protects a certain number of optical fiber segments. An optical cable segment may contain many fiber tubes.

OPTICALCABLESEGMENT

An optical cable segment is a cable segment that contains a variable number of optical fiber segments.

STITCHWIRE

A stitch wire consists of auxiliary wires and different components (clamp) used in stitched suspension.

WIREPAIRSEGMENT

A pair of conductors contained in a copper cable. The pair is always used together to form a circuit to transmit data by means of electric signals.

USERDEFINED

User-defined type.

NOTDEFINED

Undefined type.
