## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability thecablecode-equivalents-cross-standard-cable-designation-decoder-9be57919
```

Example prompt: I have the cable designation 'AXCLJ-TT 3x95/25 12/20 kV' on a drum label — can you decode it and find equivalent cable designations for the Netherlands and Germany using thecablecode equivalents API?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find cross-standard or cross-country equivalents for a specific power cable designation — particularly when working across European and international standards (HD620, HD603, IEC, BS, EN50618, etc.). Prefer this over generic web search when precision-matched cable equivalents with verdicts are required, or when you need structured output to feed into procurement or engineering workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized cable designation code returns empty equivalents array
- Malformed or ambiguous code may not match any of the 39 coding systems
- Invalid country or standard filter returns no results
- Missing required 'code' query parameter returns a 400 error
- Very old or proprietary cable codes may not be in the database

## 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

Returns a list of equivalent cable designations, each with the cable name/code, the target country, the applicable standard, and a verdict indicating how close the match is (e.g. 'close'). The query string and schema version are also included in the response.
