Describe the cable — end A to end B — and the engine asks what narrows it, checks every compatibility rule by citation, and prices Good / Better / Best. Every number comes from your rules, never from a guess.
M8 and M12 — A‑coded 5/8‑pole, L‑coded power, D/X‑coded Ethernet — plus 7/8″, D‑sub, RJ45, IEC C14/C20 to C13/C19, NEMA 5‑15P, and fiber: LC duplex and MPO‑12.
Flying leads or pigtails, M12‑to‑RJ45, power cords, and MPO‑to‑LC breakouts — any end A to any compatible end B.
Gauge, jacket (PVC, PUR, TPE, LSZH, plenum, SJT, SJOOW), shielding, Cat 5e/6A, and fiber type — OM3, OM4, OS2 — with polarity.
14 cited rules check compatibility — connector vs. cable and gauge, jacket vs. environment and code — backed by 33 golden quotes.
The engine is a full MCP server — connect it to Claude and your team quotes cable assemblies in plain conversation: describe the cable, answer the question card, pick Good / Better / Best. The starter rule pack ships with the line; override it with your own rules, governed and audited — and you're onboarded.
