Best Electrical Wiring Software for Large-Scale Rack Connections (900+ Cables)

Hi,

I'm looking for electrical wiring software but most of the ones that I have found work great at a component level but I'm looking for something less specific, I will be using it to design and label connections between racks and rack components, In the beginning I used AutoCAD to make simple schematics and never had a problem but I was using maximum 30 or 40 cables problem is I'm at a point where my systems have 900+ cables and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to generate this schematics.

I tried Zuken e3 but I cant say I am a big fan of it, any other suggestions?

Hi Alejandro,

If you are looking for PCB layout software you could try www.pcbweb.com its a free CAD application for designing and manufacturing electronics hardware.You could also try www.digikey.com/schemeit if you up to schematic design.

Hope it helps,

Can try E-plan8

You can download and try SEE Electrical from IGE+XAO. I used straight AutoCAD for many years for electrical schematic and layout design. I bought a copy of SEE Electrical when I had a customer demand a point-to-point wirelist for two panels I was designing. It would have had about 1000 entries. I was not going to do it by hand. I was surprised at the price and the functionality of the software. IThere is a low learning curve to get up to speed and productive with it.
