x402
TheCableCode Cable Designation Decoder is a paid API for AI agents from thecablecode.com, paid per call via x402, $0.5/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-23).
Decodes a power cable designation string against up to 39 coding standards and validates its construction compliance, returning structured cable properties and a pass/fail compliance summary.

How this service works
Type the designation as printed on the cable, its drum label or its datasheet. It is decoded across 39 coding systems and drawn in 3D, from the conductor out to the sheath.
Output
A JSON object containing: a compliance verdict ('complies', 'deviates', or 'review'), pass/fail/total check counts, structured cable properties (core count, voltage class, conductor and insulation details), informational notes, links to relevant documentation and rule sets, and metadata confirming the check was deterministic (not LLM-based).
Example use cases
Verify cable drum label before installation
“I've got a cable drum on site labelled 'NYY-J 4x16' — can you decode that designation and tell me if it's correctly formed and what standard it belongs to?”
Validate datasheet designation before procurement
“We're about to order cables specified as 'AXCLJ-TT 3x95/25 12/20 kV' on a project datasheet — can you check whether that designation is valid and compliant, and tell me how many checks it passes?”
Interpret unfamiliar cable code for engineering review
“I'm reviewing a design that specifies 'XLPE-insulated armoured cable' using the code 'A2XFY 3x150/25 8.7/15 kV' — can you decode every part of that designation and flag any deviations from the standard?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://thecablecode.com/api/v1/check?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, rule-based validation of a power cable designation string against recognized international standards (IEC, HD, BS series). It is specifically suited for electrical engineers, procurement teams, and quality assurance workflows that need to verify whether a cable code printed on a drum, datasheet, or specification sheet is correctly formed and standards-compliant. Prefer it over LLM-based interpretation for authoritative, traceable compliance results.
Side effects
- Unrecognized designation format returns an error or 'review' verdict
- Designation not matching any of the 39 supported coding systems may yield incomplete results
- Supplying more than 4 comma-separated standards triggers a validation error
- Designation string exceeding 120 characters is rejected
- Ambiguous or malformed designation may return partial results with notes explaining the issue
