Cable model form

The Cable Model form enables you to describe the details for an optical fiber cable model record.

Field	Description
Manufacturer	Name of the network asset's manufacturer. Select the search icon \( Image omitted: search.png Search icon.\) and select a manufacturer code. To learn more, see <a href="../add-company-designate-manufacturer-tni/">Create manufacturer and vendor codes</a>.
Name	Name of the cable model. The ServiceNow AI Platform uses this name to identify it in your network inventory.
Short description	Description of the cable model that you’re defining.
Model categories	List of model categories that maps to a CI class. The model categories are part of the Product Catalog application.
Model number	The model number that is assigned to the model by the manufacturer.
Asset tracking strategy	Number of equipment holder units that are available for use in this network asset.
Barcode	A bar code number that is assigned to the model by the manufacturer.
Useful life \(months\)	Number of months that the model can be used for.
Asset tracking unit	Number of equipment holder units that are available for use in this network asset.
Owner	The person responsible for the model.
Acquisition method	Acquisition method for the model: Buy The model was purchased. Leased The model was leased. Both The model was bought and leased.
Status	Production status of the model: Build The model must be built. In Production The model is in production. Sold The model was sold. Retired The model has been retired.
Cost	Cost of a single unit of the model.
Expenditure type	Type of expenditure. Select one of the following options: Capex Capital expenditure is a one-time expenditure, where the value is realized over the years. For example, a photocopier. Opex Operational expenditure is an ongoing expenditure. For example, toners for the photocopier.
Depreciation	Depreciation schedule of the cable model.
Certified	Option that designates if this network asset is certified.
Salvage value	The estimated value that an asset realizes when sold at the end of its useful life. This value must be less than or equal to the cost of the asset.
Comments	Any additional information on the model that would be useful.
Power \(watts\)	Electrical power of the network asset in watts.
Dimensions Unit	Unit of measure in which you’re expressing dimensions. Select one of the following options:- --None-- No distance measurement is expressed for the connection route length. Inches Distance is expressed in inch. Feet Distance is expressed in feet. Miles Distance is expressed in miles.
Sound Power \(bels\)	The rate at which the energy of the network asset is emitted in bels.
Length	Length of the network asset, expressed in the unit of measure that you designate in the Units field. For example, enter `12` if the asset is one foot, or enter `60` if the asset is 60 inches and you've selected `Inches` as the unit of measure in the Units field. The ServiceNow AI Platform uses this information to calculate the cubic dimensions of the asset to determine its physical placement within the designated network site.
Characteristic	Type of the cable. Select one from the following.- Optical Transmits signals using light pulses. Electrical Transmits signals using electrical currents.
Width	Length of the network asset, expressed in the unit of measure that you designate in the Units field. For example, enter `12` if the asset is one foot, or enter `60` if the asset is 60 inches and you've selected `Inches` as the unit of measure in the Units field. The ServiceNow AI Platform uses this information to calculate the cubic dimensions of the asset to determine its physical placement within the designated network site.
Height	Height of the network asset, expressed in the unit of measure that you designate in the Units field. For example, enter `60` if the height of the asset is 60 inches and you've selected `Inches` as the unit of measure in the Units field. The ServiceNow AI Platform uses this information to calculate the cubic dimensions of the asset to determine its physical placement within its designated network site.
Depth	Depth of the network asset that is expressed in the unit of measure that you designate in the Units field.Note: This field is applicable for the equipment models and equipment holder models.
