Kabellijst

Kabellijst is a term used in Dutch-language technical documentation to refer to a compiled list of cables used in a system, installation, or facility. It is not a universally standardized term, and its exact scope can vary by organization or industry. In many contexts, a kabellijst functions as both an inventory for procurement and a reference log for installation and maintenance.

A typical kabellijst includes a set of fields that describe each cable. Common items are a unique identifier or code, cable type (such as power, data, control, or fiber), conductor count and cross-section or gauge, insulation material, shielding, voltage rating, and any relevant safety classifications. It also records routing information, length, start and end points, and termination details, along with location (area or room), installation date, and the responsible technician or contractor. Additional notes may cover installation method, status, spare capacity, and links to related drawings, schematics, or cable trays.

Uses and management practices vary, but the kabellijst is typically maintained during the design, construction, and ongoing operation of a facility. It supports planning and procurement, helps with maintenance and troubleshooting, and aids compliance with electrical or data-network standards. In Dutch contexts related terms include kabelplan (cable plan) and kabelinventaris (cable inventory), which describe complementary aspects of documenting cable infrastructure.
